General Information about Group Settings

Why Use Group Settings?

This procedure is used to create group settings that are applied to groups of employees in the Update Employee procedure and works as a pre-determination or group of default settings.

Group settings are used for two main reasons. One is that it simplifies the process of registering employees in the Update Employee procedure, since the greater part of the settings are applied by default when you use a group setting.

The other is that group settings allows you to automatically change a particular setting for an entire group of employees, in one go. For example, if all the employees that are linked to the group setting White-collar are required to start using makeup time (overtime work to make up for leave taken on working days), you just have to change that setting once in the Group setting, and the change will automatically apply to all white-collar employees. Under the Group settings window you can read more about how settings are transferred to the employees.

Window Functions

Use Delete record to delete the current group. The system will first check the personnel register to make sure that the group is not linked to any employees. Read more about this in the chapter called MONITOR General Information chapter in the MONITOR Basics manual.
