1) The Organisation Structure
The Organisation Structure in Easy Employer (EE) is considered the backbone of the system. The organisation structure is based on a hierarchy, it holds all the sites, areas and roles within your organisation. Users can be assigned to any level of the organisation structure. Permissions can be applied that provide a level of authority for the desired section down in the hierarchy (e.g. one site).
The Organisation Structure affects the other areas in EE. As an example, if a user isn't assigned to the correct role in the Organisation Structure then that user will not appear in the expected areas on the roster. Understanding how the Organisation Structure works is critical for anyone that needs to use EE at a senior level.
