A department represents a subdivision of the employee workforce, most often erected around the type of activity they do.

Departments are a tree-like structure, as any department may be child to another.

Note: contrary to most resources, departments are not attached to business-establishments. This means:

  • business-establishments listed in access rights management do not affect departments.
  • employees may work in different business-establishments (or even legal-entities) and yet still belong to the same department.
