Background
If you use Patriot HR Software, you can view a chart that visually maps your company’s reporting structure. It’s built automatically from the manager and direct and indirect report relationships you set up in Patriot, so you can quickly see who reports to whom, how teams connect, and which employees still need a manager assigned.
How to Use the Employee Organization Chart
