A position is a role performed by an employee - for example, 'Sous chef' or 'Bartender'.
Employees must have their positions assigned and the appropriate rate set within SocialSchedules. This ensures hourly employees are paid accurately for the work performed.

Here you will see the Positions currently assigned to the employee. Two rates are shown:
The base rate, which is the default rate for the position across the Company
The worker's rate, which is the rate paid for this specific employee. This may or may not be the same as the base rate.
Positions are created at the Company level in SocialSchedules.
To create a position, refer to the following article: Manage Company Positions | SocialSchedules Help Center
