Departments help you organize employees into teams or groups. When you assign employees to departments, managers can see only the employees in their department, and you can filter timesheets and reports by department. This feature is available to Admins.

How to create a department

  1. Go to Organization in the left sidebar.

  2. Click Add Department.

  3. Enter the department Name.

  4. Click Save changes.

How to assign employees to a department

You can assign an employee to one or more departments:

  1. Go to Employees and open the employee's profile.

  2. In the Department field, select the department(s).

  3. Click Save changes.

You can also set the department when adding a new employee.

How departments affect visibility

  • Managers see only employees in their own department (unless granted broader permissions).

  • Timesheets can be filtered by department.

  • Reports can be generated for specific departments.

  • Schedules can be planned per department.
