The default supervisor is determined based on the organizational structure defined for your company. Assigning a default supervisor to a department or working site allows you to efficiently group employees under the same supervision.
In the corporate section of the employee profile (or when creating an employee profile), once you select a department and a working site, the corresponding supervisor is automatically assigned based on the predefined configuration. A “default” label appears next to the supervisor’s name to indicate that the assignment was made automatically based on the department and working site combination. You can always remove the default supervisor and select another one manually.
👉If you remove the default supervisor or assign one manually, the Use Default Supervisor button becomes visible.
This button allows you to quickly restore the supervisor linked to the department/working site combination without having to search for it in the drop-down list.
If no default assignment exists for the selected combination, the Supervisor field will remain empty. In this case, you must choose a supervisor manually from the list.
Changing organizational structures settings
From the organizational structures settings page, any change made to a department’s or working site’s supervisor—whether it’s a modification or a deletion—is automatically reflected in the profiles of affected employees. The default supervisor will automatically adjust according to the new configuration.
⚠️ Exception: If a supervisor has been manually assigned to an employee’s profile, subsequent configuration changes will not affect that profile. Once a supervisor has been manually assigned, they will no longer be automatically updated based on the department or working site—unless you reset the default supervisor using the button provided for this purpose.
