The Category tab contains Employee Category information for the person. Employee categories are used to classify employees, and generally associated with pay. Employee categories are also used as one of the building blocks to denote a tag reference.
An employee category is effective dated, and only one employee category can be active at one time.
Customers with Dimensions integration use employee categories as a factor for pay. Employee Categories are defined in Setup > General. The initial employee category defined in Dimensions contains the beginning of time value, which this application reads as a blank value. Subsequent employee categories applied to a person in Dimensions are dated in this application.
