Overview
Active Jobs listed on an Employee's Employee Record determine which Jobs the Employee can be scheduled for. The Jobs associated with the Employee are also tied to their earnings within R365 Payroll.
Only Jobs with an active Job Record can be associated with an Employee. Each Job added will correspond to a single Job Record, as Job Records are Location-specific.
For salaried Employees onboarded to Payroll, the annual salary amount of their active Salary Job is used to automatically populate their earnings each Pay Period.
Adding Jobs Automatically
When an Employee Record has been linked to a POS Employee Record, all Jobs associated with that Employee in the POS are automatically added to the Employment tab of that Employee's Employee Record as Hourly Jobs.
When Jobs are added from a POS Integration, the Employee's pay rate from the POS is populated as the pay rate for the Job on their Employee Record.
Adding Jobs Manually
Manually adding a Job to an Employee will allow that Job to be used for that Employee in Scheduling and R365 Payroll without the Employee needing to be associated with that Job in the POS. The Employee can then be associated with the Job in the POS at a later time.
Employees can have multiple Hourly Jobs as long as each Job added corresponds to a different Job Record. Since each Job Record is Location-specific, an Employee can have two or more Jobs with the same name as long as each Job is at a different Location.
Employees can only have one active Salary Job per Location, regardless of the associated Job Records. The active Salary Job is determined by the 'Effective Start Date' and 'Effective End Date' of the Employee's Salary Jobs. Learn more about Effective Start and End Dates for Salary Jobs here.

Effective Start and End Dates for Salary Jobs
The Effective Date fields for Salary Jobs determine when that Job is active. For salaried Employees who have been onboarded to Payroll, the Annual Salary associated with their active Salary Job will be automatically added to Payroll Runs. An Employee can only have one active Salary Job per Location.
Whether the Employee has been onboarded to Payroll and whether they have already received a Payment will impact the default values and editability for these two fields, and will also determine if the Salary Job can be deleted from the Employee Record.
