Assign employee an employment status

How to give an employee their employment status in Sage HR.

Written by Oliver Cook

Employment statuses help you manage your employees, for example, to show whether they are working full-time or part-time in the company.

You can easily assign an employee to an existing employment status. You can either do this within your employment status settings or from within the employee's profile.


Employment status settings

You can assign an employee from within your settings. This way also allows you to assign multiple employees at a time.

  1. Click your name in the top right, then click Settings.

  2. On the Settings menu click Employee data, then click Employment statuses & Working patterns.

  3. On the Employment status, click on Eligibility.

  4. Select the employees you want to assign to this employment status. You can search for them or click Filter for an advanced search using Team, Position and/or Location.

  5. Once selected, click Save.


Employee's profile

If you just need to assign an individual employee to an employment status, you can easily do this from within their profile.

  1. Go to the employee's profile.

  2. Scroll down to Employment status.
    ​
    If there isn't an appropriate employment status to choose for the employee, you can create a new employment status.
    ​

  3. Click the dropdown then select the relevant employment status.

  4. Scroll down and click Save to save the changes.


πŸ“ŒTIP: When you change an employee's employment status, underneath their current employment status, you can see a list of the employee's previous employment statuses that they were assigned to.
