How to merge departments
Duplicate departments can cause a lot of confusion and frustration. You can now create one department for all employees regardless if they are enrolled in payroll, or enrolled in various connected payroll organizations. Merging your departments in the People Directory will not affect existing departments in your payroll organization(s).
To merge departments:
1. Sign into the Rise platform, then under Directory, click Departments on the left hand side menu.
2. Any duplicate departments will be detected and you will be prompted to merge them using the Merge duplicates button. Click the button to start the process of merging departments.
3. Select the departments you want to merge from the drop down menu, then click Next.
4. Fill in the details for the merged department. The name, code, and existing lead(s) will be pre-populated but can be changed. Click Next to move to the final step.
5. Review the details of the merge. When you’re ready click Merge departments.
6. Your duplicate departments are now merged and you can proceed to manage the single department as usual.
