# Employment Classifications

`/groups/{id}/employment_classifications`

### ***Q. When should I create employment classifications? Can Ideon manage these assignments?***

A.  Ideon can create, manage, and assign employment classifications in many common cases. If the employment classifications are based on common employment details, we might already have the information on the `subscriber` or `qualifying_life_event` to sort the member into the correct identifier.  

Common Classifications that we can manage if certain data elements are included:

* Hourly or Salary - provide the `compensation` field
* Full-Time or Part-Time - if `status` is provided in more detail than `active`
* Work Hours - provide the `hours_per_week` field
* Work State or Residential State - if the Work States are different than the primary location or secondary\_location, provide the `work_state` field
* Work Location - associate the member with a `location_id` that has a physical address 
* Time at the Company  - provide an accurate `employment_start_date` 
* Salary - provide `annual_earnings` or wages, if needed, these can be provided to Ideon at a Benefit level
* Executive or Non-Executive - provide the `executive` field
* Union or Non-Union - provide a status in the `union` field
* Overtime Exemption status - provide the `exempt` field
* Wage Frequency - provide an accurate `wage_frequency` value 
* Job titles - Provide consistent values in the `title` field, which the Ideon Operations team can use to map

If the classifications are a combination of the above, we can also assign a member using more than one value, here is an example:

* If the account structure requires us to categorize Hourly "Welders" with 3 or more years at the company, we can do so if you provide the required field `start_date`  in employment details, as well as `title`s, and `compensation`

Ideon will need to work with the Platform team to discern assignments for members when the Assigned categories are sub-companies, or are not tied to a `location` , `plan` `subscriber` or `dependent` value that you provide to us. 

These can be provided as `class` or other types of employment classifications and assigned in the subscriber data. If your team wants to manage these assignments, they will pass through to Ideon!

We can evaluate complex classifications together to determine working principles for your system and staff. During implementation, the Ideon team will work with you to determine what is best for your system and the employers you support.
