Overview: Positions are only available with scheduling and allow you to assign as many positions to an employee as needed. There is no connection between Locations, Departments, and Positions. This means that positions do not nest under either one. They are entirely separate and can be used without Departments or Locations.

Important: When only one Position code is assigned to an employee, it will automatically be applied to their punch.
