    Article summary

    This article reviews Job Records within Smart Ops and Workforce. 

    A Job Record contains all of the details for a single Job in R365. Jobs are used in conjunction with the POS Integration to track Employee punches associated with Labor Accrual Journal Entries, and each Job Record is assigned to a GL Account for Labor Cost assignment. 

    Job Records can be created and updated from the Jobs page within Smart Ops and Workforce.


    Jobs in Scheduling

    Jobs are associated with all scheduled shifts. Employees can only be assigned to shifts when they have the corresponding Job assigned to them on their Employee Record. Jobs can also be used on the Schedule Calendar to filter the view, as well as bulk publish and unpublish shifts.

    Scheduling-Related Fields

    The following fields on Job Records are used for Scheduling:

    • Title

    • Location

    • Pay Rate

    • Color

    • Exclude from Scheduling

    • Department

    • Responsibilities

    Viewing By Job

    The Job grouping displays one Job per row and groups shifts assigned to Employees. With this grouping, each shift is titled with the Employee assigned to it.

    Selecting Specific Departments

    The Departments/Jobs selector is to used filter the Schedule Calendar to only show selected Jobs.

    Publishing by Job

    When using the 'Publish' (or 'Unpublish') button, Users have the option to select each Job that will have its respective shifts published. Learn more about publishing Schedules here.


    Create a Job Record

    Create a Job Record by clicking the 'Create +' button in the top, right corner of the Jobs list page. A 'Job Form' sidesheet will then appear with multiple tabs that should be completed with Job information.

    The header of the Job Record includes three action items:

    •   - This will create the Job Record

    •   - This will open the Help Menu, which includes multiple resources that can assist in creating a Job Record

    •   - This will expand the modal to full screen. Clicking the minimizing icon that appears in its place will return the modal back to its original size

    •   - This will close out the modal without saving any changes made


    General Tab

    1. Title - The name of the Job in R365. If this Job was created by the POS Integration, this value will be populated with the same value found in your POS, but it can be updated as needed

    2. POS ID - This is the ID of the Job according to the POS. Do not change this field

    3. Location - The Location of the Job. Since each Location's POS will likely have a different Pay Rate or POS ID for the Job, each Location will need to have a Job Record created for every Job. Click the Source Linkto view this Location record

      After the record is initially saved, the Location field will be read-only to all Users

    4. GL Account - The GL Account that will debit Labor Accruals for this Job's Labor Punches. Common GL Accounts might include: 'BOH Labor', 'FOH Labor', or more detailed GL accounts, such as 'Line Cook Labor'

    6. Job Category - The Job Category used for Employee demographics reporting on the EEO Report

      This field is only displayed when Workforce is enabled.

      • Directly Tipped - Indicates that the employee directly receives tips.

        • This is the default tip designation for all jobs when Tip Import is enabled.

      • Indirectly Tipped - Indicates that the employee receives tips though tip sharing. 

        • For Tip Automation, jobs with this designation can be assigned as receiving jobs. 

        • For Tip Import, jobs with this designation are included on the Tip Template.

      • Non-Tipped - Indicates that the employee does not receive tips. 

        • For Tip Automation, jobs with this designation cannot be assigned as contributing or receiving jobs.

        • For Tip Import, jobs with this designation are excluded on the Tip Template.

    13. Exclude From Schedule - When checked, this will hide the Job from appearing in the Scheduling module. This will then display the Job as 'Inactive' on the 'Jobs' tab of the Employee Record for Employees who are assigned to this Job. Click here to learn more about the 'Exclude From Schedule' checkbox

    Employees Tab

    This tab serves to list all Employees assigned to this Job. Employees can be added or removed at any time.

    1. Employee Selector - A listing of all Employees who are assigned to the Location selected on the 'General' tab

    2. Employee Rating - A private star rating to rate Employees within their respective Jobs. To rate the Employee, simply hover over the stars to highlight them and then click the star that the Employee should receive. These ratings are not displayed to the Employee, but rather used in Scheduling so that Employees with a certain rating can be set for a specific shift

    3. Pay Rate - The Pay Rate of the Employee in this Job, which will be imported from the POS where available.

      The Pay Rates can be manually updated, but will not be used for reporting unless the Employee Master is set to 'R365'. If an individual Pay Rate is entered for an Employee here, it will trump the default Pay Rate entered on the 'General' tab

      Only Users with the following Permission will be able to view Pay Rates

      • Labor → Employees → Employment → Hourly Pay Rates → View Hourly Pay Rates

    4. + Add - This will add the Employee, Employee Rating, and Pay Rate, if entered, to the grid below. This button will be grayed out until an Employee is selected 

    5. Search Bar - This will search the listing for the characters entered

    6. Filter - This will filter the listing for the selected criteria. When clicked, a modal will appear where details can be entered and applied to the grid. Filters can also be removed by clicking the trash can icon within this modal

    7. Columns - This will enable the User to select the columns that should be displayed in the grid. Check or uncheck a column name to include or exclude it, respectively. Columns can also be reorganized by dragging and dropping the desired column's rearrange iconwhere needed

    Once Employees are added to the grid, they can be easily removed by clicking the corresponding trash can iconat the end of the desired Employee row.


    Responsibilities Tab

    Responsibilities help to further classify a Job into more detailed responsibilities/qualifications/certifications. When scheduling Shifts in the Scheduling module, the Job Responsibility can be selected as required for a Shift to limit the Employees that are eligible for that Shift.

    For example, if there is a Job called 'Cook' but schedule one Shift as working the Grill and another the Fryer, then 'Grill' and 'Fryer' can be setup as Job Responsibilities for the Job and then assigned to whichever Employees are qualified to do each Job Responsibility. On the Shift in the Scheduling module, a User can specify it will be for Job = Cook and Job Responsibility = Fryer. Only Employees with the 'Fryer' Job Responsibility qualification will then be able to be assigned that Shift. Click here for more information on Job Responsibilities.

    1. Responsibilities Selector - A listing of all Responsibilities that can be selected for this Job

    2. + Add - This will add the selected Responsibility to the grid below. This button will be grayed out until a Responsibility is selected 

    3. Search Bar - This will search the listing for the characters entered

    4. Filter - This will filter the listing for the selected criteria. When clicked, a modal will appear where details can be entered and applied to the grid. Filters can also be removed by clicking the trash can icon within this modal

    5. Columns - This will enable the User to select the columns that should be displayed in the grid. Check or uncheck a column name to include or exclude it, respectively. Columns can also be reorganized by dragging and dropping the desired column's rearrange iconwhere needed
