The tab groups employments into two lists -- current employments and terminated employments -- each showing a count in its label (for example, **2 Current** and **1 Terminated**). ![Employment tab on a person's record showing current and terminated tabs](https://mintcdn.com/broadstripes/5JjMz8nuygjDV626/images/working-with-records/employment-tab-overview.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=5JjMz8nuygjDV626\&q=85\&s=e7f4d824be138a626133622917c3ab7a) ## View current and terminated employments Click the **Current** or **Terminated** tab label to switch between the two lists. The browser remembers which list you were viewing if you navigate away and return. Each employment row shows the employer name, classification (or job title, depending on your project settings), and other details. The employer name links to the organization record, and you can open a Quick View panel for the organization by clicking the Quick View icon () next to the name. Both the link and the Quick View icon appear even in read-only projects, because you can always view an organization regardless of whether you can edit it. On a narrow screen, such as a phone, each employment appears as a card instead of a table row. The card shows the employer name, any lock badge, the classification, the bargaining-unit-member flag, the recent hire date or end date, and a note showing when the employment was last updated. ### The locked badge When an external system owns an employment and prevents edits, the row shows a badge that reads **locked by \[system name]**. You can still view and read all of the fields for a locked employment, and you can still change which employment is primary (see below), but you cannot edit any other field. ## Set the primary employment Each person has exactly one current employment flagged as primary. The primary employment is the one Broadstripes shows in search-result columns and uses when it needs a single employer for the person. The **Primary** column in the current table shows a radio button for each employment. Click the radio button on any current employment to make it primary. The change takes effect immediately, and the tab updates the radio buttons to reflect the new selection. You can make any current employment primary, including one that is locked by an external system. ## Add an employment If you have permission to edit the record, an **Add Employment** button () appears above the current table. Clicking it opens an add form directly on the page. The form contains: * **Department** -- the organization the person works for. Type at least two characters to search for a department or shop by name. * **Classification** (or **Job title**, depending on your project settings) -- the person's role. You can choose an existing classification from the list by typing to filter it. If the classification you need is not in the list, type its name and choose **Add "\[name]" as a new \[classification label]** to create it and select it in one step. * **Employee number**, **Work location**, **Hours**, **Hourly rate**, **Employee status**, **Full / part time** -- text fields for additional employment details. * **Start date**, **Recent hire date**, **Date last paid**, **Seniority date** -- date fields. Enter a date or use the date picker. * **Bargaining unit member**, **TIP card** -- checkboxes. Click **Create Employment** to save the new employment. If the server finds a problem with any field (for example, an invalid date), it highlights that field and shows a message explaining what to correct. Click **Cancel** to discard the form and return to the table. After a successful save, the new employment appears in the current table and the Current count increases. ## End an employment To end a current employment, open the row's actions menu () and choose **End employment...**. A dialog opens and asks for: * **Date ended** -- defaults to today's date. You can change it. * **Reason ended** -- a free-text field. Click **End employment** to save. The employment moves from the Current list to the Terminated list, and both counts update. Click **Cancel** to close the dialog without making a change. You cannot end a locked employment. ## Edit an employment Open the row's actions menu and choose **Edit** to open the employment's detail page. From there you can change any editable field and save. Locked employments show **View details** instead of **Edit**, and the detail page displays all fields as read-only text. ## Delete an employment Open the row's actions menu and choose **Delete...**. A confirmation dialog names the employer and warns that the deletion cannot be undone. Click **Delete** to confirm or **Cancel** to close the dialog without deleting. You cannot delete a locked employment. This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
