  • A role in Loaded is the area or department an employee completes their work in.

  • Roles must be added before a staff member can be assigned to them.

  • Roles are used when creating a roster and for the wage report breakdown in the punches by day report.

  • Roles can be set to cost to food or to beverage in Loaded and this will be shown in the relevant wage cost reports.

  • Roles can also have a department code this is required only if you wish to attribute your wage cost in your payroll export
