Promotions & Designation Changes

Track designation changes over time so every promotion is recorded in the employee’s history.

Overview

Promotions records each change of designation with its date, so an employee’s career path inside the company is visible at a glance.

It works alongside appraisals and the employee record. The module is optional and can be enabled by an administrator.

  3. 3The employee’s history is updated automatically.
  4. 4Payroll can be revised to match, using the salary module.
  5. 5The employee is informed and the letter is issued.
  6. 6HR reviews promotion trends across teams.
