Organization Management

Organization Management in CloudHR allows you to define and structure your company before managing employees, payroll, attendance, and other HR operations.

This section helps you configure your company’s internal structure, which is required before creating employees.

What It Includes​

Organization Management consists of the following components:

Represents registered companies within your CloudHR account. Every employee must belong to a legal entity.

2. Business Units​

Defines major divisions of your organization (e.g., Sales, Engineering, Operations).

3. Locations​

Represents physical or operational office locations.

4. Departments​

Organizes employees into functional groups within business units.

5. Designations​

Defines employee roles or job positions within the organization.

Why This Setup Is Important​

Before creating employees, CloudHR requires your organization structure to be configured.

These entities are used in:

  • Employee Job Assignment
  • Attendance Policies
  • Leave Policies
  • Payroll Processing
  • Reporting

Without setting up your organization structure, employee creation will be incomplete.

To ensure a smooth onboarding process, follow this order:

  1. Create Legal Entity
  2. Add Business Units
  3. Add Locations
  4. Create Departments
  5. Define Designations

Once completed, you are ready to start creating employees.

Continue to Legal Entities to begin configuring your organization.
