There are three employee types in Microsoft Dynamics AX: employee, contractor and work center. The work center employee type is typically not used in a human resources context.

You can manage a variety of information and actions related to the employee and contractor employee types:

This information is useful as general information about the employee and as a basis for tracking the development of the employee over the course of their employment.
