Configuring and Managing Employment Types

Overview

In ClickTime Australia, employment types define how employees are classified for payroll, award compliance, and reporting purposes. By correctly setting up categories such as full‑time, part‑time, casual, and contractor, you ensure accurate pay calculations, leave entitlements, and penalty rate applications. This guide explains how to create, edit, and manage employment types, assign them to staff profiles, and maintain compliance with Fair Work and enterprise agreements.

Employment Types also define the standard daily and weekly working hours for different categories of employees, such as full-time and part-time roles. These settings provide the foundation for accurate time tracking, payroll, and leave management, ensuring compliance with regulations and tailored workforce management.

Standard Working Hours
