Grove HR's Employee Groups feature helps you create various employee groups for daily operations, apply specific work schedules for specific employee groups, and flexibly allocate allowance and/or one-off to a certain employee group.

Existing groups in the Checklists module will also be migrated to Company Settings > Employee Groups tab.


With the current version, Admin and authorize person can create, manage Employee Groups and assign Onboarding/Offboarding tasks and Time Off Policies to Employee Groups. In future releases, Employee Group will connect with other modules and features like News, Work Schedule, Attendance, etc.
