How to Assign Team Members to Sub-Departments
After creating sub-departments for your department, you can assign team members to them. There are several benefits of segmenting your employees with sub-departments:
You can filter the employees on your schedule builder (i.e. “Show me only Assisted Living employees.” or “Show me only Memory Care employees.”).
You can create shift templates with an associated sub-department
When you create an open shift with an associated sub-department, team members that are assigned to that sub-department AND/OR set to be trained in that sub-department are eligible to claim it
If you have an employee that is eligible to work in multiple sub-departments, read this article about Trained Sub-Departments.
