How do I assign a position type to a position? (2024.11)

A payroll position type refers to the categorization of an employee's job, role, or position in an organization for payroll and human resources. This classification generally includes full time, part time, temporary, contract positions, and so on. 

Position types:

  • Appointed. The job is filled through an appointment rather than through a traditional hiring process or election. 

  • Elected. The job is filled through an election rather than through a traditional hiring process. 

  • Full time. The job is 40 hours or more per week. 

  • Job share. The job is shared with another employee. If the position type is job share, you will need to enter the percentage of the job that will be filled by the position type. Note: To set up this position type, the position must be active. [More]

  • Part time. The job is less than 40 hours per week. 

  • Seasonal. The job is a temporary or part-time position that is open during part of the year. Seasonal jobs are typically between 30-35 hours a week for a few months of the year. 

  • Temporary. The job is only for a short period of time. A contracted worker is an example of a temporary job. 

  • Variable part time. The job is where an employee works part-time hours, but the number of hours worked each week or pay period can vary significantly. This type of position is often used in organizations with fluctuating demand where staffing needs can change frequently. 

  • Volunteer. The job is an unpaid position. 


The position type menu includes variable part time as a position type in the 2024.011 release.
