Eco Time allows you to classify the employees within your organisation into different areas or groups.

You only need to use the classifications that you require. For example, if you only have one branch then you don’t need to classify employees according to a branch. Even if you have more than one branch there is no requirement for you to classify your employees into branches. However if you do, then you will be able to run reports etc. for the employees at a single branch level.
