The Time and Attendance (TAA) terms employee type and job type are sometimes confused for each other; here's a quick definition of both to help:


  • Employee type: A general classification of worker, such as Driver or Bus Monitor.
     
  • Job type: The category of work being performed, such as Regular Route or Field Trip.


A simple tip to keep the terms separate in your mind is to think of them without the "type" part of the terminology — meaning an employee works for your organization, and a job is a task that is carried out.
