Each company has a unique seniority structure / hierarchy and the same can be created in EazeWork HRMS. To activate this feature you will need to enable the Level field in HRIS section, refer article on HRIS Setup for more details. If history tracking feature is enabled then these Levels can be used in defining leave eligibility, notice period, expense policies, performance management process.
Each level is associated with a seniority rank, the seniority ranks are from 1 and go serially. A level on rank 3 is higher than that on rank 4.
1. Use “Add New” to add new levels. If history tracking is not enabled then you can add new levels directly in the table. If history tracking feature is enabled then you will have to specify the rank for the new level as shown below.
When Sr Vice President level is added with a seniority rank of 2 the rank of Vice President and other levels below it is increased by one automatically. These ranks are used in issuing promotion letters.
2. You can edit by clicking on “Edit” or rearrange the seniority level using “Ʌ" "V” options available. Rearrangement is possible only if history feature is disabled.
The seniority rank, i.e. the row in which the Level is mapped is indicative of the hierarchy of the company. In the example shown above Sr Executive is senior to Management Trainee but junior to Manager. The level CEO or MD should not be confused with the role of CEO or MD, the two if needed can be given to different persons. Refer to article on Roles in EazeWork HRMS for more details on the roles.
If an employee's seniority level is changed it is treated as a promotion.
