Departments – HourDoc Support Center

Introduction:

Departments are designed to describe where your "personnel" belong. This helps the system determine where everyone works along with which Shifts need to be scheduled for each Department.

In the event that you need to alter a department, i.e. remove, you will need to associate all of the time entries of that department to the new department. If you do not change them, you will delete them, thus deleting all of the entries for your employees in that department. Please proceed with caution when changing departments.

You will note there is a warning message when selecting to edit a department underneath the submit form. e.g.:

Creating a new Department

Home > Account Settings > Time & Attendance > Departments > Create New Department

Creating a new department allows it be assigned to any location in the account. You can copy this department to all locations in the company, if there is more than one.

Once you have completed the necessary changes, click “Submit Form”.
