Organisation structure

This page shows you how to set up your organisation structure in Zinye HR. A little structure here is what makes approvals route correctly and reports group properly later — so it’s worth doing before you add many people.

ItemWhat it is
DepartmentA part of the business — Sales, Operations, Finance.
DesignationA job title — Accountant, Sales Manager.
BranchA physical location or office.
Employee GradeA pay/seniority band you can attach default salary and leave to.
Employee GroupA flexible grouping for reporting or bulk actions.
Employment TypeFull-time, Part-time, Contract, Intern, Probation.

Set these up under the HR setup area, then pick them on each employee record.

The most important link is reports to on each employee — their manager. This single field drives who approves their leave and expenses and builds your organisational chart, so set it carefully for everyone.

Once reporting lines are in place, Zinye HR draws an organisational chart automatically — a clear, visual map of who reports to whom, handy for onboarding and planning.
