Step 2: Create your first Employee group

Why Employee groups matter

Employee groups help you organise staff by skills and roles.

  • Departments = Where employees work

  • Employee groups = What roles or shifts they can take

Example: Bartenders, Chefs, Front of House.


Create your first Employee group

  1. Go to Planday web > People > Employee groups > Create employee group

  2. Enter a name that suits your business

  3. Click Save > Done

You can add wages and salary codes later if needed.
