Organization Unit

The Organization Unit screen is where the individual structure levels within the corporation are set up and displayed. These organization units are used to define the screen values, such as job class, pay codes, or activity codes, and processing rules that apply to employees who are assigned to the organization unit.

The names of each of the organization unit levels is defined for each customer. Within this documentation, these are referred to generically as "organization unit"; however, the field labels visible on the screen will reflect the actual organization unit names.

There can be up to nine organization unit structure levels in the system. Each organization unit is assigned to an Organization Level to determine the hierarchy within the structure the organization unit belongs. Organization units that are set up at a structure level directly below another organization unit are considered to be a "child" of the higher-level organization unit.

Note  

For more information, see Organization Unit Parent/Child Relationships.

There are three main organization unit levels that are used with the Time and Attendance and Staffing and Scheduling applications. These three levels are referred to in this documentation as the "Trunk", "Branch", and "Leaf" organization unit levels. The first two levels are required, the third level is optional. These three levels do not have to be sequential; there may be additional structure levels in between.

Note  

When the Organization Link Levels are set up with initial shipment of the system, these three levels are assigned by Time and Attendance and Staffing and Scheduling. They are visible in Configuration > Organization Unit > Organization Link Levels, but are not editable.
