How do I change an employee’s department?

An employee’s current department is defined as part of their current job role. There are two ways to change an employee’s department.

The first way is to select the “Employees” link from the main menu, then navigate to the employee whom you wish to move to a different department. Select the “View” button alongside the employee you wish to move and, when you are shown the View Employee page, open the Employee Menu by clicking on the arrow on the right-hand side of the menu and select the “Edit” option. On the Edit Employee page, you may change the employee’s current department and click “Update” to save the changes.

The second way is by editing the employee’s current job role. To do this, select the “Employees” link from the main menu, then navigate to the employee whom you wish to move to a different department. Select the “View” button alongside the employee you wish to move and, when you are shown the View Employee page, open the Employee Menu by clicking on the arrow on the right-hand side of the menu and select the “Job History” option. On this page, select the “Edit” button for the current role and select the new department before clicking “Update” to save the changes.
