Adding or Editing an Employment

The following document focuses on adding a new employment or editing an existing employment. You can access the add or edit screen for an employment from list view of the "Work History App" or the “Work History” page of the informal assessment.

Below you can find additional information on:

Job Type, Begin Date, End Date

The fields displayed when adding an employment vary depending on what you enter for “Job Type”, “Begin Date”, and “End Date”.
