Departments

The Departments feature in the Employees plugin of AureusERP allows an organization to manage and organize its workforce into logical units or teams. Departments help streamline employee management, reporting, and approvals. Each department can have a manager, a parent department (for hierarchy), and be associated with a specific company.
