Users vs. Employees

Understand the difference between Users and Employees and when to use each.

Updated over a week ago

WashStacks has two different account types with slightly different functionality. Both account types can be assigned to roles and to one or more locations. WashStacks includes an unlimited number of user and employee accounts.

Employee Accounts

Employee accounts are available only with WashStacks Talent. Employees appear under all Talent-related modules and have records of employment-related data, including pay, hire date, employment type, uniform sizes, military service, and more.

Only Employees have Employee Records and can be reviewed, counseled, and have uniform requests and employment changes (achievements, transfers, promotions) recorded for them.

User Accounts

User accounts are non-employee accounts that do not appear on any Talent-related modules. If you have Talent, Users would be used for owners, investors, and administrative staff.

Converting a User Account to an Employee Account

To convert a User to an Employee, go to Settings > Users.

Click the three dots next to their name and select “convert”. You will be prompted to choose a home location and an Employee role for the User before converting.
