Departments

Departments are organizational groupings used to classify Employees for Payroll reporting, work letters, and HR analytics. Every employee can be assigned to a department, making it easy to filter Payroll runs, accumulators, and Reports by business unit.

Where to find it

Go to Payroll > Departments.

Creating a department

1. Click New.
2. Enter a Name (e.g., Operations, Finance, Sales).
3. Optionally enter a Code for short references in Reports.
4. Click Save.

Assigning Employees to departments

Departments are assigned on the employee record:

1. Go to Payroll > Employees.
2. Open an employee.
3. On the Identity tab, set the Department field.
4. Save.

The department assignment takes effect immediately for new Payroll runs. Historical run data retains the department value at the time of calculation.

Deleting departments

Select one or more departments and click Delete. A department that is currently assigned to one or more Employees cannot be deleted - reassign those Employees first.
