A Job Role is a position an employee can work (Line Cook, Driver, Cashier). Roles carry the hourly rate on each employee, are chosen on every shift and timecard, and decide which employees are notified about an open shift.

1. Go to HR Tools > Employees > Roles and click + Add new.
2. Enter a Name (e.g. Line Cook), optionally pick a Job Department, keep Is Active? on.
3. Click Save.

The Roles list shows ID, Name, Department. The department dropdown only offers active departments; picking a department that no longer exists shows "Invalid Department!".
