Create Employee Groups

Explanation

This activity is used to create groups to which employees can be added. The purpose of groups is to allow authorized personnel to access data of group members. It is particularly important when employees become inaccessible through the standard organization based access.

For example, when an employee is terminated, they leave the company organization structure, meaning that organization based access does not apply to them. Because of that, each terminated employee should be added to a Former Employee Group, so that he can be accessed through it.

Similarly, when a new employee is added to the system, he will become visible through the organization access only on the day when they formally begin their employment. In order for them to be accessible prior to that moment, they need to be added to a New Employee Group.

Lastly, Custom Employee Groups allow to make a group that fits whatever purpose you desire. Employees can be added there later, and their data will become visible to group supervisors.
