Set up employment statuses

How to add and assign employees to an employment status in Sage HR.

Written by Oliver Cook

When you have the Core HR module, employment statuses help you manage your employees. For example, to show whether they are working full-time or part-time in the company.

In an employment status, you define which days of the week are classed as working days and which are non-working days for your employees.

📎NOTE: Employment statuses aren't available if you use Sage HR Essentials or Basic HR.​


Default employment statuses

There are four employment statuses already set up in Sage HR:

  • Full-time

  • Part-time

  • Contract

  • Intern

You can add more employment statuses and edit these default statuses too.


Add a new employment status

If you want to create a new employment status, it's easy to do so.


Assign employees to an employment status

You can easily assign employees to an employment status from within your settings or from within the employee's profile.
