Organise employees into departments

A department is a simple label on the employee, such as Operations, Finance or Sales. There is no list to set up first: type a new name on an employee and it becomes a department everyone can pick.

Steps

1. Open the employee and click Edit. In HR Management → Employees, click the person, then Edit at the top.

   

2. Type or pick the department. In Department, start typing: the departments you already use are suggested. A new name creates a new department. Click Save employee.

   

3. Find people by department. On the Employees tab, type the department in the search box and press Enter. The list shows everyone in it, with their job and department under the name.

   

4. Filter by department elsewhere. Attendance (check in and out, records, the monthly report) has a Department filter, so a team lead can see just their team.

   

Good to know

• The job title and department show under the name on the employee's page and in My space.
• In a big company, forms that pick an employee (leave, attendance) first ask for the department, then list only the people in it.
• To rename a department, change it on each employee in it.
