Departments are organized in levels and used  across jobs, employees, and reporting.

When to use this

Use this when you need to:
  • Create or organize departments
  • Build or update team structure
  • Build or update team structure
  • Fix or clean department hierarchy

Do not use this for managing employees or jobs directly.

    Department rules

    • Departments can only be created up to lower level
    • Only top-level departments can be merged
    • Mid-level and lower-level departments cannot be merged
    • Moving a department also moves all its lower-level departments
    • Deleting a department may affect linked jobs and employees

    These riles define how the structure behaves across the system

      How this page works

      Departments are shown in a hierarchy:
      • Top-level departments
      • Mid-level departments
      • Lower-level departments

      You can expand each department to view its structure.

        Create a top-level department

        • Click Add Top Level Department
        • Enter department name
        • Click ✓ to create or ⨯ to cancel 

        Create a lower-level department

        • Use the + icon next to a department
        • This creates a child department under it.

        You can continue building levels up to lower-level.

          Department actions

          Top-level departments can:

          • Rename
          • Delete 
          • Move
          • Merge

          Mid-level and lower-level departments can:

          • Rename
          • Delete
          • Move

          They cannot be merged.

            Rename department

            Use this to update the department name.
            Changes apply immediately across the system.

            Delete department

            Use this to remove a department.
            Be careful:

            • It may affect linked jobs and employees
            • Ensure it is not actively in used

            Move department

            Use this to change department position in the hierarchy.
            You can:
            • Move under another department
            • Move to top-level
            Important:
            • All lower-level departments move with it

              Merge departments (top-level only)

              Use this to combine two top-level departments.
              Steps:
              • Select target department
              • Click Merge
              Result:
              • Departments are combined
              • Lower-level structure is preserved

                What to be careful about

                • Moving changes the full hierarchy structure
                • Merging recognizes system data
                • Deleting affects jobs and employee mapping
                • Poor structure leads to incorrect reporting

                What this is NOT for

                Do not use this for:
                • Creating jobs
                • Managing employees
                • Hiring decisions

                This is only for organizing company structure.
