Departments

Why use Departments?

Departments are an optional tool in Wageloch that can assist with your rosters, timesheets and reports. We also have the ability to restrict certain administrative users in Wageloch to see specific departments; great for line managers to assist with rostering and timesheets.

There are a lot of different reasons why departments can be useful for you:

• Able to ensure correct staff count and shift coverage.
• Better shift allocation for effective roster forecasting
• Staff will know where in the company they'll be working each shift.
• Ability to run reports and filter by specific departments
• Useful for running reports based on departments for specific wage costings.
  

Enabling Departments

• Click on Settings in the top right corner
• Select Departments from the menu
• Enable the Use Departments function.

• Use the Create button to add your departments; give them a name and a color.
• Click Done to create the department.
• Repeat this as many times as you wish.

• Once you've created all the departments you need, you'll see tick boxes next to your staff list.
• Tick as many as you like for each employee; this will allow you to reassign staff between departments.
• Done to save.

Creating and Assigning Staff to Departments

Once you've enabled departments, you can now create them! You're able to make as many as you want, and we can also enable the ability to use them with job codes, tracking categories or classes (speak to Helpdesk for further assistance)

Your rosters and timesheets will now be colour coded!
