Departments, teams, and manager relationships describe how people are organised in Worklayer. They appear in employee records and help make the Org chart and approval routing accurate.

​
Set up the company structure

An administrator opens Settings > Org structure to add or edit departments and teams. Keep the names recognisable to employees before using them during an import. Other organisation values, such as workplace or legal entity, are selected when adding a person.

​
Assign an employee

Use People > Add employee > Add single employee > Organisation for a new record. Choose the department, team, manager, job title, workplace, and legal entity that apply. For an imported group, review manager values in the import stage before confirming. A missing or incorrect manager can put a person under the wrong reporting line and affect who receives some approvals.

​
Check the chart

Open People > Org chart and inspect the visible reporting lines. If someone appears under the wrong person, check their manager assignment on the employee record. If a department or team name is wrong for many people, correct the organisation setting first, then review affected records.
