Creating & Managing Worker Types

In the add worker type tab, provide the name of the worker type and a short description of the worker type. You can also set a duration of employment for the worker type. Click in the check box of Set a minimum contract duration and Set a maximum contract duration and set the duration in days, months, weeks and years as per your requirement and click on Add to add your new worker type.

Managing an Existing Worker Type

The list of the existing worker types is displayed in the worker types tab along with the data of number of employees, minimum contract duration and maximum contract duration. If you wish to edit a worker type, just click on the Three Dots next to it and choose Edit.  In the edit worker type screen you can make necessary changes and click on Update. Additionally you can also Delete a worker type using the same option. 

Note: If you want to delete a worker type that has employees associated with it, you can't do it directly. First, you have to change the employment type of those employees. Once they're no longer linked to that worker type, then you can delete it.
