Hi Tushar,

If you go to positions > Manage timeline > Position hierarchy, you can assign here based on hierarchy. But at one time, you can have only one manager for that hierarchy during the duration.

For example

Employee A - Manager A - From 1st Jan 2023 - Current date time

Employee A - Manager B - From 1st Jan 2022 - 31 December 2022.

Hi,

By default, you can assign only one reporting manager to an employee. But i think you can create a custom field in the employee’s record to store the additional reporting managers’ information. This field could be a text field or a lookup field, allowing you to select multiple manager records.

Best regards,

Kevin

Hello Tushar,

On the position screen you can only assign one line manager, but in the position hierarchy you can create hierarchy for the position to create a kind of Org chart.

Can you please tell us your business requirement? why you need two line managers?

@MuhammadFaisal I am designing a CRM system in which an employee can have multiple reporting managers parallelly. For example, Employee A reports to three managers: X, Y, and Z.

So, the hierarchy will show like this:

We also have this requirement. It's fairly common in most HR tools I've used previously to have this functionality.

An example would be an Executive Assistant that reports into both the Director of Sales and the Director of Marketing.

The EA position is funded 50% from both cost centers.

Hi Tushar,

You can use the reports to position for one of the reporting managers and you can also use the relationship tab to select the other reporting manager. In case you want to use the workflow where both managers must approve create two steps and have the first step configured to line level manager and the second step do configurable hierarchy so the system will pick up that manager tagged in the relationship against the position.

But however, this depends on if all the employees have two reporting or only a few and also the manager that is tagged to the relationship tab he will not be able to view the person as a reportee in manger self-service which might become an issue and for this I think we will have to get it customized.
