Creating Employee Departments

Employee Departments in ACMS are used to group employees by their functional or academic roles — for example, Admissions, Faculty of Engineering, or ICT Support. Proper department setup ensures employees can be filtered, managed, and assigned tasks or subjects appropriately.

Step 1: Navigate to HR Settings

Go to Administration > Human Resources > HR Settings.
Click on Employee Department.

Step 2: Add a New Department

On the Employee Department page:

Click the Create button after entering:
1. Name

Department name (e.g., Admissions, Finance, ICT)

1. Department Code

Short code or abbreviation (e.g., ADM, FIN, IT)

1. Status

Select Active to enable the department for use

Step 3: Manage Departments

Edit: Click the ✏️ icon next to a department to rename or update its status.
Delete: Click the 🗑️ icon to remove the department from the list (only if not in use).

Tips

Keep codes consistent
Each employee must be linked to a department during onboarding.
Department filtering is available in staff lists, reports, and subject allocation.
