Type of record. It must be either a Job or a Phase. A Phase may be used like a sub-category of the Job.
Example: Study phase, Research phase, Development phase.

A common use of Job is to use it to track customers. For this use you would add a new Job for each customer.

Check this box to make the job or phase active. Inactive jobs/phases will not be available to employees when they clock in.

ID
This field is a unique identifier for the job/phase. You can not enter an ID already used by another job/phase.

Description
Enter a short description for the job/phase.

Pay Rate
Enter the pay rate to be used for this job or phase. The job pay rate overrides the employee pay rate. If you ask for a job AND phase when employees clock in, then the phase pay rate overrides the job pay rate. Leave this field blank to use the pay rate in each employee record.
