  • You can create positions based on job titles or the type of work employees do.
    • Examples: team leader/team member, manager/staff, approver/non-approver, morning/afternoon/closing shifts.
  • You can assign multiple positions to an employee. Employees can select one of their assigned positions when creating a shift.

💡 Note

Positions do not determine access levels in Shiftee. We recommend keeping your position setup simple.

Add a Position

STEP 1 ) In the manager web app, go to manage > positions and click add position in the upper-right corner.



STEP 2 ) Enter the details for the new position.

  • Position name: Enter a name for the position.
  • Display name: Set a separate position name to display to users with the staff access level. The display name replaces the position name when they view shifts, attendance, or positions. To use this feature, first enable the ‘position display name’ feature in Company Settings > Positions.
  • Color: Choose a color to distinguish the position from others in the shift calendar in the manager web app.



Edit a Position

Select the position you want to edit, update its details, and save your changes.


If the display name feature is enabled, you can update display names for multiple positions at once.
Select the positions you want to update from the list, then click Edit Positions. Enter a display name to apply to all selected positions.



Delete a Position

To delete a position, first deactivate it.

STEP 1 ) Select the position you want to delete and click deactivate in the lower-left corner.

💡 Note

Deactivating a position removes it from the following:
- Employees, shift types, schedule patterns, leave types, approval rules, report snapshot templates, and standardization rules


STEP 2 ) Turn on show inactive positions at the top of the page.
Select the position you want to delete from the list and click delete.

Positions used in shift templates, shifts, or attendance records cannot be deleted.
