Grove HR's Employee Groups feature helps you create various employee groups for processing onboarding, apply specific time off policies to specific employee groups, and launch a performance review for a target employee group.
Depending on the configuration of your access role, you may or may not have access to this feature. Please check with your Admin for access control.
Create an Employee Group
Go to Company Setting by clicking on the ⚙️icon > Employee Groups
Click on + New Group
Enter a unique name and a description for easy finding > click Create
Select how employees can be added to the group:
Match all of the criteria: only employees who meet selected conditions will be added to the group
Specific employees: only selected employees will be added
Click Preview to view the employee list (if necessary)

💡Tips: To keep the employee list current and reflect any changes that occur (such as hiring new employees or updating employee information), select "Automatically update employees that match these criteria, except for Resigned employees."

A deactivated Employee Group will be hidden from other modules, but you can still view them in Employee Groups setting.
