Designations
Designation is the name of a position an employee holds in the organization. There are various designations based on company policies and the business the company is involved in.
A set of designations can also be grouped. For example, different designations like Administrative manager, HR Manager, Project manager and so on can all be grouped as Middle level managers.
As an administrator, you can view, add, edit or delete the details of designations in the Designations page.
