Your Site Admin can define your organization's employee types and set the parameters for each type to abide by the relevant employment contract or collective agreement language.
Your organization will have default employee types which you can override at the department level because departments may have different rules governing their staff.
To create an employee type you must be a Site Admin, however, dept admins can modify their own employee types once they've been created.

Note: The Type Sort field refers to how you want your staff ordered in the staff pick list on your VSB. If you wanted full time staff listed first, then part time and then casual you would give the employee type full time a Type Sort of 1, part time a type sort of 2 and casual a type sort of 3.
Once your employee types are created you can assign them to your staff through each staff members employee profile.
