To add a new classification, you click the add classification button. Each worker classification must have a unique name.

There is an option to require a worker classification when adding new workers. When required, the field shows as required on the employee profile when editing the job details card and also on the add employee page.

Worker classifications are shown on the employee profile on the job tab.

When a worker is assigned a worker classification, that classification is included in payroll reports.
