Structuring your company into explicit operational departments is essential for mapping reporting hierarchies, routing approval requests, and grouping team visibility privileges. PayPeople provides a dedicated organizational control panel to build out your core department frameworks and assign functional heads.
1. Navigating to the Departments Portal
To access your company's department structure registers:
Step 1: Open the primary system navigation dashboard layout and click on the Setup module icon (gear ) in the upper right corner.
Step 2: Ensure the Organization horizontal menu category is selected, then locate and click on the Departments grid card module component (highlighted in a red box).
Step 3: The central Departments directory index listing screen will load, displaying a complete row register of existing departments, assigned Heads of Department, and active employee counts.
Step 4: To provision a new organizational branch, click on the purple Create a New action button block (highlighted in a red box) on the right margin ribbon header area.
2. Setting Up Department Profiles & Hierarchies
An Add Department form card popup overlay window container will open on your active view workspace layout. Complete the parameters sequentially:
Step 5: Name — Type the descriptive title of your new division inside the labeled Name form field input box (e.g., Accounts Department).
Step 6: Head Of Department — Click inside the Search Employee field dropdown menu selection box to find and select the specific employee who will serve as the active department head (if applicable).
Step 7: Creating Sub Departments — If this division operates nested segments or secondary teams underneath it, click the green + Add Sub Department button. A dynamic spreadsheet table layout row will update, allowing you to add the specialized Sub Department Name records directly into your hierarchy grid mappings.
Step 8: Review all your structural parameters and click the purple Save action button on the lower right of the card overlay to permanently update your corporate directory database logs.
