Scheduling
How does ControlBoard® organize a company into divisions?
ControlBoard lets a company split each subsidiary into divisions that match how it runs, such as by trade, region or
market. Divisions carry their own time policies where they differ, for the time entry form, punch rules, drive time
and overtime, and otherwise follow what the subsidiary or the company sets. That means one company can run divisions
with different time rules side by side, each paid the way it should be. Divisions can be turned off without losing
their history, and loaded from a spreadsheet. Only administrators and accounting change a division’s policies;
managers see them read-only.

Common questions
Can each division follow its own overtime and punch rules?
Yes. A division can pick its own time entry form, punch rules, drive time and overtime policy. Any it leaves alone
follow the subsidiary or the company, so rules are set once at the right level and inherited below.
How do divisions relate to subsidiaries?
In ControlBoard divisions are optional parts of a subsidiary. A company creates its subsidiaries first, then adds
divisions under them. A division stays with the subsidiary it was created in.
Can we import our divisions?
Yes. ControlBoard gives you an empty template or your current divisions as a spreadsheet. Fill it in and load it
back to add or change many divisions at once, with no retyping.
