Jobs tab - Employee Maintenance

Use the Jobs tab to identify jobs/skills an employee is qualified for and trained to perform in addition to their home job, as well as to determine the priority for scheduling those jobs. For example, an employee with the home job of Fine Dining Waiter may also be qualified to work as a Banquet Server. 

RMS

attempts to schedule the employee for their home job (Fine Dining Waiter) based on need. 

In addition to specifying the job(s) for which an employee is trained and allowed to work, you can also indicate the employee's skill level (rank) for those jobs, as well as the priority order for scheduling those jobs. For example, the first job in the list will have an order number of 1 (home job), second in the list has an order number of 2, and so on. If the employee is to be cross-utilized, you should define all the employee's jobs in this tab.

Home jobs and secondary jobs can be added and edited when logged in to the employee's primary property. If logged in to a secondary property, new jobs can be added and the employee's secondary job can be edited, but the home job cannot be edited.

The job(s) that an employee is qualified to perform are listed according to the effective date on which the job was added. All details pertaining to that job(s) are displayed in the Jobs table. If an employee is authorized to work a cross-property job, the property code will be displayed in parentheses in front of the job name.

Caution: If your company uses interface files for importing data into

RMS

, most of the information on the Jobs tab of the Employee Maintenance screen is automatically updated with each import. Do not change change information about the Home Job. Check with your HR or payroll department to determine whether your company uses interface files.

Fields on the Jobs tab

This table describes the fields and controls for this tab.

FieldDescriptionNotes
Job Effective Dates

Define a set of dates and configure jobs that the employee is authorized to work, for those dates. It also serves as an audit feature, by listing all changes that have been made to the job(s) within the Job Effective Dates.

All jobs are grouped by Job Effective Dates; therefore, when you add a new job, you either create a new Job Effective Date, or you add it to an existing Job Effective Date. By default, an employee's current  job(s) are displayed, and jobs in a prior Job Effective Date range, are not visible. Jobs can be added to, deleted from, edited, and re-ordered, for any set of Job Effective Dates. For example, if an employee received a raise for a job in a prior Job Effective Dates set which wasn't added correctly, you can go back and add that raise. Entries can also be made for a future job(s) that an that the employee will be authorized to work. For example, an employee is currently a Bartender, but will be promoted to Bar Captain on the anniversary of their Hire Date.
