<h2 id="faq">FAQ</h2>

<b>Can one job title belong to multiple departments?</b><br>
Each job title is linked to one department. Create separate titles if the same designation exists in different departments.

<b>Must I create departments before job titles?</b><br>
Yes. Department is required on the job title form — set up <a href="#/hr/department">Department</a> first.

<b>Can employees share the same job title?</b><br>
Yes. Many employees can be assigned the same title on their job details tab.

<b>Does changing a job title name affect history?</b><br>
The updated name appears on employee records going forward — historical payroll and attendance retain employee snapshots from those periods.

<b>Can I delete a job title assigned to employees?</b><br>
Reassign employees to another title first, or suspend the title to hide it from new assignments.
