HS ASC: Configuring Labor Positions

Overview

Labor Positions allow you to schedule and forecast labor at a more detailed level than job codes alone. Instead of assigning employees only by job (for example, Team Member), you can assign them to specific roles or stations (such as Drive-Thru or Grill).

This is especially useful for operations where multiple roles exist under a single job code or when more precise labor visibility is needed for scheduling and reporting.

Labor Positions are configured in the Above Store Console (ASC), where administrators define available positions and determine how they are assigned to employees.

Once the certification is assigned to employees, the position will be automatically assigned as well.
