We are setting up our HR structure and have many Process Levels (PL's) and depts. We have FOUR PL's that do not have a dept. I was curious to know if we should create depts for these for consistency. The HR folks indicate that these particular employees do not have a dept and therefore should just be shown under the process level.

I know that if we do NOT add a dept to put them in, we will not be able to make DEPT a required field...short of that what other downfalls could we face if we leave it like it is now?

Thanks for helping a newbie!!!

If you want to group employees on reports, you will always have to include both Process Level and Deparmtnets in your reports in dorder to differentiate the populations. It might be best to create departments under the lone process levels with the same naem as the process levels, so that you can at least run reports by department.
