Key features
Grades as ordered records, owned by a department where that matters, A grade on the employee, tracked when it changes, Grades per department, with a count and a button to see them, Restrict-on-delete, so a grade in use cannot be removed by accident, Groupable and filterable like any employee field
How It Works
Two steps.
1
Define the ladder
Ordered records, so Junior comes before Senior wherever they are listed. Departments can own their own.
2
Put people on it
One field on the employee, tracked when it changes - so a promotion leaves a trace.
3
Read the organisation by level
Because it is a field, the directory groups by it and a headcount by grade is a filter.
