Employment status (employment type)

What is Employment status (employment type)?

Employment status, or employment type, is the category an employee falls into - such as full-time, part-time, contractor, or freelancer - which affects their entitlements, leave, and how they are managed.

The label carries real consequences: full-time and part-time employees usually get statutory leave and protections, while contractors and freelancers work under different terms. Recording it correctly keeps leave, pay, and reporting consistent.

HREvio stores an employment type on each profile - full-time, part-time, contractor, or freelancer - so records and filters reflect how each person actually works. The legal classification itself is a matter of local labour law, not a software setting.
