Describe workers and positions
Worker
Worker is one of the key entities of Human Resources. The worker entity is integrated with Supply Chain Management through modules like Production, Sales, and Marketing. Workers can be divided into two main categories: employee and contractor. The Worker page has options to define other functionalities including leave, compensation, payroll, benefit, and compliance. If you're a shop floor user, you can activate your job card from the Worker page. If you're a Commerce user, your Store Commerce activation also occurs from the Worker page.
Resourcing and allocation of manufacturing jobs are an important part of the Production control module. Finance and operations users, mapped with the worker entity, can sign in to the app and mark the progress of an allocated job. You can allocate skilled employees in the Gantt chart. Employees can also be associated with the Sales and marketing module, where you can calculate commission for sales representatives. The following screenshot depicts the different fields on the Worker page.
Positions
A position, an element of the organization hierarchy, is an individual instance of a job. A position exists in a department and can only have one person assigned to it at a time.
On the Position page, you can define the reporting position of the current position, which automatically creates a position hierarchy. When a worker is assigned to a position that reports to another position, a reporting relationship is automatically created between the workers who are assigned to those two positions. The following screenshot depicts the different fields on the Position page.
