Managers – (New feature). Managers can be set up on the company level and then tied to employees (this feature will be built upon in many ways in future versions).
Managers are set up and maintained under Company > HR > Job Info > Managers
A manager must be an employee in the given company
You can’t delete a manager if the manager is tied to an employee
Employees are tied to a manager under People > HR > Job Info > Managed By
A manager cannot tie himself to himself
The “Managed By” is also displayed in the employee top summary (in People and Payroll)
Employees who are Managers have a “Manager” indicator near their name
Note: For clients with Custom Roles, the Company and People Job Info card would need to be added to the applicable roles in order for users to see these cards
