Introduction to the Employment Module on a Participant Profile

Learn how to use the Employment module on a participant profile to review and manage employment records.

Written by MaryGrace Flores

The Employment module on a participant profile helps teams document and review a participant’s work history in Equip. Each employment record connects the participant to an employer and includes key job details such as dates, employment type, job title, pay, duties, benefits, and supervisor information.

This module gives teams a central place to understand where someone is working, how long they have been employed, whether the job is active or inactive, and which employer or supervisor is connected to the record.


⚙️ How It Works

To view employment records for a participant:

  1. Open the participant’s profile.

  2. Select the Employment tab from the profile menu.

  3. Review the participant’s current and past employment records.

  4. Click New Employment to add a new record, if your permissions allow it.

Each employment record can include:

  • Employer — The organization or business connected to the job.

  • Start Date — When the employment began.

  • End Date — When the employment ended, if applicable.

  • Employment Type — Full time, part time, or internship.

  • Hourly Pay — The participant’s hourly wage, when available.

  • Job Title — The participant’s role or position.

  • Job Duties — A summary of the participant’s responsibilities.

  • Benefits — Benefits or supports connected to the job.

  • Supervisor — The employer contact associated with the participant’s employment.


✅ Benefits

  • Track employment history over time — Keep current and past work experiences organized in one place.

  • Understand job status quickly — See whether a participant’s employment is active or inactive based on the employment dates.

  • Support better follow-up — Store supervisor and employer details alongside the participant’s job record.

  • Improve reporting accuracy — Complete employment records help generate more useful employment reports.

  • Create a fuller participant profile — Employment details can be reviewed alongside the participant’s other information in Equip.


💡 Best Practices

  • Add the employer before creating the participant’s employment record.

  • Leave End Date blank while the participant is still employed.

  • Add an End Date when a job ends so the record shows as inactive.

  • Include supervisor details when possible to support follow-up and reporting.

  • Keep job title, pay, duties, benefits, and dates updated as employment changes.
