Question 1

How do I change who an employee reports to?

Accepted Answer

You don’t change who the employee reports to, you change who the managers *manage*. (Don’t worry, it’s simpler than it sounds!)

Head to **Settings** in the top right of **any page** then select **Permissions** from the bar on the left.

Find the manager’s name and change their role to **Manager**.

You’ll then be given the option to **edit direct reports**. This opens a pop-up where you can select the employees that report to this manager.

Click the pink ![](https://www.datocms-assets.com/23428/1600947566-save.png) button on the pop-up, and then the pink **save changes** button on the bottom right of the page to update your changes.

Question 2

How do I edit a working pattern?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, details within a working pattern cannot be edited but you can copy all the details of an existing pattern you've previously set up to make any adjustments you need.

Head to settings and select 'Working time patterns' then click 'Create new pattern' to get started.

Enter the name of your pattern, select whether you'd like to set this as your default pattern for new starters then select the name of the pattern you'd like to edit from the 'Copy existing pattern' drop-down.

Next just make any adjustments you need and click 'Save' to add your updated pattern.

Once your new pattern has been created, we would then need to head over to the employee(s) profile and assign the new working pattern which can be done via the employment tab and then in the contract summary.

Question 3

Select **Overtime** from the bar across the top. Then click the **Use TOIL**  button, under your existing TOIL balance.
