Employee

Before adding employees, set up the supporting records they depend on: departments, designations, and branches.

1. Add Department

Go to: HR → Employee → Department

Departments organize employees into functional units such as Sales, Finance, Operations, or HR.

Open Department Form

Navigate to HR → Employee → Department and click New.

Enter Department Name

Enter the name of the department (e.g., Human Resources, Finance, Operations).

Save

Click Save. The department is now available when creating employee records.

Add Department

Create all required departments before adding employees so each employee can be assigned to the correct department from the start.


2. Add Designation

Go to: HR → Employee → Designation

Designations define the job roles or positions of employees, such as Manager, Officer, Executive, or Assistant.

Open Designation Form

Navigate to HR → Employee → Designation and click New.

Enter Designation Name

Enter the role title (e.g., Senior Manager, Sales Executive, HR Officer).

Save

Click Save. The designation is now available when creating employee records.

Add Designation

3. Add Branch

Go to: HR → Employee → Branch

Branches represent the physical locations where employees work — the main office or any other location.

5. Organization Chart

Go to: HR → Employee → Organization Chart

Ensure each employee has the correct Reports To field set to get an accurate organizational chart.


6. Employee Groups

Go to: HR → Employee → Employee Group

Employee groups allow you to categorize employees for easier bulk operations — such as bulk shift assignment, bulk leave policy assignment, or filtered reporting.
