Employment Types

Summary​

The Employee record contains an optional employment-type value, but the reviewed source does not define a controlled business vocabulary or rules for how each type affects other modules.

Audience​

  • HR managers and HR executives
  • Business analysts and product owners
  • Solution architects and QA engineers

Reference Content​

Confirmed​

  • Employment type is part of the employee's employment context.
  • It can be used as an employee-search filter.

Requires confirmation​

The approved list of employment types, naming conventions, allowed changes, effective dating, and effects on attendance, leave, payroll, benefits, expenses, access, and reporting all require business confirmation.

The examples Permanent, Contract, Intern, Consultant, Part Time, Temporary, Remote, and Hybrid are not documented as supported types because the reviewed source does not define them. Remote and Hybrid may also describe work arrangement rather than employment type; that distinction requires confirmation.

Governance recommendation​

Before publication, the product owner should approve a controlled list and decide whether employment type and work location/arrangement are separate classifications. Until then, consumers must not assume that free-text values have stable semantics.
