Departments and Managers

Departments help categorise your employees within the system which will come in handy for running the payroll, reporting and leave.

Create Departments

To create departments within your company,

1. Go to Settings
2. Within the Departments page, toggle the Departments option 
3. Click on Add Department
4. Input the desired department's name

Department Managers

Managers receive email notifications for leave applications for employees in that department. They will then have the ability to approve or deny such leave applications.

To assign a manager to a department, you can insert their company email address and press enter. This requires the manager to already have an existing account on Buddy, generally by setting both personal and company email addresses in the employee details and having sent an invite beforehand (See: Inviting an Employee to their Portal)

Assigning Employees to Departments

Employees can be assigned to departments by updating their Department in the Role tab in employees' details. Read Assigning an Employee to a Department for more information.
