Positions define the roles in your organisation. Each position holds the details used to calculate pay and costs, such as the job title, contract type, working hours and cost allocation. Positions can be assigned to employees, and the information held against a position is used in calculating salaries and related costs.
You manage positions from Settings > Position management in the Payroll menu.

You can sort the list, set how many positions appear per page, and page through the full list. Select the vertical ellipsis (⋮) at the end of a row to edit that position.
