How do I add a department?

Why do you need to add a department?

A department is a group of employees who share similar roles or responsibilities.
Adding departments to the company account is important for:

• Enhancing approval chains,

• Enable the department manager to view reports related to employees in their department and send messages to them,

• Enable filtering employees on some pages like Attendance Now.

Example: If your organization has a marketing department, it makes sense to create and add a separate marketing department here and assign employees to it. That way, the appointed department manager can approve requests from team members, check their related reports, and keep in touch with them.

Add Department

1. From the sidebar, click on Org. Hierarchy> Departments. You'll see a list of departments that have been added to the company account.

2. Click on Add Department. You'll see a page with department info:

   • Here you can set the department name and assign a manager from the employees' list. The list will only show employees who are Supervisor or Admin.

3. Fill in the info then click the Save button.
