Employee Groups

Groups are another way to classify employees. They are different from Departments and are typically used to classify a cross-functional type of employee. Examples are Full-Time, Part-Time, Salary, Hourly, Non-Exempt, Executives, or Human Resources employees. In TimeTrex, you can place groups within other groups.

An employee can be assigned to one Employee Group at a time. Employee records can also use any number of Tags when you need another way to categorize, search, or report on employees.

Use Employee > Employee Groups to create and organize the group records. To assign an employee to a group or move employees to a different group, edit the employee records under Employee > Employees and change the Group field. To change the group for several employees at once, select the employees under Employee > Employees, click Mass Edit, change the Group field, and save.

To add a new group, do the following:

• Click Employee, then click Employee Groups in the main menu.
• Click New in the button bar.
• An inset page will appear with one tab, Employee Group. Complete the fields.
• Click Save or click Cancel to discard the changes.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding and editing.
