Django Multiple User types in Django 1.9

I want to create a web app in which I will have two different types of users Employee and Employers. They'll have mostly non common fields.How to implement separate registration of both. Currently I have inherited from the User model.

models.py

class Category(models.Model):

cname=models.CharField(max_length=250)

def __str__(self):
    return self.cname


class Workplace(User):
 address=models.TextField(max_length=250)
 logo=models.ImageField(upload_to=upload_location,null=True,blank=True)
 wcategory=models.ForeignKey(Category,on_delete=models.CASCADE)



class Employee(User):
 employee_id=models.CharField(max_length=250)
 eworkplace=models.ForeignKey(Workplace,on_delete=models.CASCADE)

In django, you can make them both able to authenticate, or register, by setting a OneToOneField to User in your WorkPlace and Employee models. If you have set this user as AUTH_USER_MODEL = <yourapp.User> in settings, you will be able to register with the models that have set this field.
