People → Org structure keeps departments, job families and levels in one place.

• Departments are where people sit. They’re for grouping only.
• Some departments, such as a board, have no level ladder. When you add or edit one, tick Job levels do not apply. People in it show Not applicable for level, can’t be given a level, and are left out of the level and promotion alerts. Their salary band isn’t worked out from experience, and a band already set stays as it is. Job families and pay bands for other departments aren’t affected. Existing levels aren’t erased. Untick it to bring levels back: people with a family but no level then show up in the “Set job levels” alert again.
• Job families and levels decide how people are paid. Add the seniority steps every family shares, such as Associate to Manager, and give each a rank (1 is the first step).
• A level can have an experience range, in years from and to.
• Anything still in use can be deactivated instead of deleted. Only something nothing uses can be removed for good.
