Overview

The Worker Classification Code screen under Company Settings >> Staffing Settings allows staffing companies to set and manage classification codes for their workers based on their job roles.

This information is crucial for accurate payroll setup, invoice generation, and compliance with employment classification rules. Once set, these codes are automatically used when timesheet exports are generated — eliminating the need to update job-specific codes manually.


💼 Why This Page Is Important

Worker Classification Codes help staffing companies:

  • 🟦 Assign standard employment codes for tax, insurance, and regulatory reporting.

  • 🟦 Ensure consistent classification across multiple jobs and locations.

  • 🟦 Pre-fill classification details in timesheet exports for payroll automation.

  • 🟦 Improve data integrity during audits or government reporting.


🛠️ How It Helps

  • 📧 When you email timesheets, the Worker Classification Code is now pulled from Company Settings instead of the job itself.

  • ⚪ If no code is configured, the classification field will appear blank in the emailed Excel file.


📍 Navigation Steps

To access this feature:

  1. Go to Settings from the top navigation bar.

  2. Click on Company Settings.

  3. Under Staffing Settings, select 🟦 Worker Classification Code.
