Create a Department

A department is a division of a business enterprise dealing with a particular area or activity. You can assign workers to departments.

Use the Manage Departments task in the implementation task list to create departments. You can set up the overrides for workers compensation and provincial medical calculations for a department.

To create departments:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, do the following:

   • Offering: Workforce Deployment

   • Functional Area: Legal Structures

   • Task: Manage Departments

   Expand the entry to display a list of related tasks.

2. Select Go to Task for the Manage Departments task.

3. Click Create. On the Create Department page, provide the required information.

   Every time you associate this department to another entity, such as a worker, the location you select here connects to that entity by default.

4. Select the Department Details tab. You can enter the Workers Compensation override details for this department, in the Canada Workers Compensation Department Information section.

5. Select the Workers Compensation Province Override and the Workers Compensation Classification Unit Override.

   Note: When defining overrides at the department-level, you must specify the province override first, as this presents classification units specific to that province.

6. You can enter the Provincial Medical override details for this department, in the Canada Provincial Medical Department Information section.

7. Select the Provincial Medical Payroll Statutory Unit, Provincial Medical Province, and Provincial Medical Account Override.

8. Click Submit.
