Written by Charles Vallières

When setting up your Atlas Scheduling, you are faced with different options on how to structure your Schedule: Organizations, Locations and Positions.
______________

IMPORTANT: If you have mobile employees who work at multiple job sites in any given week, the Resources module (Job Sites) will be better tailored to your needs.

A) Organization

You will want to use multiple organizations when one or many of these instances occur:

  • You do not share ANY employees and you want each location to be billed independently.

B) Location

Without the restriction above, you will want to create locations. An example would be a restaurant that has 2 locations in the same city.

  • Locations can share employees

  • Locations can have a different manager

  • You can also use locations as departments (like one for the kitchen and another for the wait staff)

  • Locations share the same positions but they can be hidden if empty

  • An employee in two locations can have different positions at each location
