Employment Statuses, or descriptions of the terms of a user's employment, are attributes that label and identify users so that other people in the system have a better understanding of who they are. These Employment Statuses are created and maintained by your organization and, once created, can be assigned to any General, Capture, Offline, Setup, or Inactive users.
Employment Statuses can be grouped under Employment Status Folders for organizational purposes. These groupings will be represented in the Employment Status drop-down when filtering a List of users or adding an Employment Status to a user's profile.
"Employment Status" is the default name of this user attribute. Your organization may have given this attribute a different name.
Who can edit an Employment Status or Employment Status Folder?
Anyone with the "Global User Administrator" permission can edit Employment Statuses and Employment Status Folders.
People with other Administrator permissions may be able to access the Employment Statuses Administration page, but will not be able to make changes to it.
