Upon entering an employee's basic information into the Bridge, a Job Position must be assigned to them to initiate time and pay tracking. Additionally, Job Positions allocate the required Roles, providing employees with access to various aspects of the organization needed to fulfill their responsibilities.
Before assigning a Job Position to an Employee, a Job Position must be created. For instructions on creating Job Positions, click here.
To Assign a Job Position to an Employee:
1. Navigate to the Staff section of the Bridge and select Employees
2. Select the Employee whose Payroll ID you wish to edit from the list or search for the Employee using the search bar
3. To open the Employee's profile, click the row of that employee
4. Select the Positions tab
5. Click +Add to bring up the Job Position menu
A. Select the appropriate Job Position from the drop-down menu
B. Enter a Pay Rate if the field did not autofill or if you wish to customize the rate
C. Enter the Start Date for the new position
D. Select the Location or the Location Group from the drop-down menu
E. Enter the optional Default General Ledger identifier
Note: What is the Default General Ledger?
This optional field is used for detailed accounting. It allows you to associate all labor costs (hours and wages) earned under this Job Position with a specific General Ledger (GL) code for your financial reports.
You should only fill this in if your restaurant's accountant or bookkeeper uses specific GL codes for tracking labor. If you are unsure, it is safe to leave this field blank.
If the job position being assigned to the employee already has a GL code assigned, it will auto-populate.
F. Click Save
Warnings:
- Entering a date in the second date field terminates the position for this employee at the location shown and the date selected.
- Deleting the position in the Job Position menu in the Bridge will terminate the position for all employees assigned to it.
