a) To do this please go to > Employees > Select Employee > Edit Details > HR tab.

b) Select '+ Add Manager' under the 'Reporting to' heading on the left.

c) You can now assign a manager or multiple managers to this employee.

  • Another employee in the same employer
  • A member of the Organisation
  • Someone outside of the Organisation that is neither an employee of the employer or a member of the organisation

 

 

d) Select the Manager and click 'Ok'.

e) Select 'Save'
