The jobs tab is where you will create and manage the different positions or roles that your employees will fill.

Once logged into Lighthouse Business Manager, hover your mouse over Employees and select Manage Employees, then Jobs. 

All jobs that have been created for your current location will be listed, showing the name and description of the position. The far right column shows the job’s active status.

You can sort the list alphabetically by selecting the name column or you can sort the list by status using that column instead. Jobs can also be filtered using the drop-down at the top left or through the search bar to locate a specific job.

To create a job:

1. Select the Add Job button.
2. Fill in relevant fields:
   • Name of the position (required).
   • Operate As determines how payments are recorded and tracked for the employees assigned to the job (required).
   • Default Menu Type determines where employees with this job will start from when creating an order (required).
   • Several optional details can be filled in to assist with reporting such as the job code, hourly pay rate, job description, Login Type, and Default Order Type.
   • Allowed Settings lets you control which areas employees with this job will access.
   • Remote Printers will let you select additional printers employees will be able to send orders to. 
     
3. Once you've finished setting up the job, select the Save button to have it added to the list.

To edit an existing job, simply select the job from the list and the info will slide out from the right. Change whatever settings you'd like to modify, and then press the Save button.

If you’re creating multiple jobs with similar settings, try using the Duplicate button.

To add a new employee:

2. Fill in relevant Employee Information fields. The only requirement is their Screen Name and Login PIN. Optional fields include first and last name, Payroll ID, Employee ID, Email, Address, and Birth date.
3. Under Phones you can add multiple phone numbers for the employee.
4. Use the Dates section to mark special milestones such as work anniversaries or promotion dates.
5. If you want the employee to have different permissions than their job, you can assign those under Permissions. Simply press the Add Permission link and check off what you’d like the employee to have access to.
   
6. Select Save.

If you'd like to edit an existing employee, select their name from the list and modify their settings as needed.

You can make the employee inactive or create a duplicate record by using the buttons at the bottom of the employee’s info.
