What is a position type?

Each position is assigned a position type in the Position table (Organization Positions). You can override the position type when you assign a position to an employee. A position type is a classification that helps define the nature of an employee's role and how their time should be tracked. It's essentially a category that determines work rules, scheduling, pay structure, and eligibility for benefits.
