HR Departments

HR Departments are used to organize Team Members and their Managers into groups of people with the same policy. An HR Department can be:

A conventional organizational unit comprising people working on the same broad function.
A geographical region.
Some other grouping of people that makes sense in the context of your organization.

Each HR Department:

Can be managed by a different HR Manager, or you can set up a single HR Manager to manage more than one HR Department.
Can have a default Approver for processes associated with the HR Department.

HR Administrators have access to all HR Departments.

To define a new HR Department you can:

Create it as a completely new HR Department.
Copy an existing HR Department within your organization and change it as necessary.

Copying an HR Department copies the Policy assignment and the Approver of the original HR department but does not copy any associated HR Managers, Action Roles, or Team Members. You must re-assign these after copying the HR Department.
