People has few switches of its own; most of what shapes it was decided with your structure:
- The module itself — switched on in the setup wizard or on the company record (Chapter 0). Turning it on brings the People Management group into the menu.
- Track branches / Track departments — the structure switches (Chapter 0) decide whether the Department and Branch fields carry weight on documents and reports, or stay quiet on the record.
- The employee number sequence — prefix and padding are yours to set, in System Setup with the other sequences (Chapter 16).
- Permissions — who may view, create and edit employee records is a permission like any other (§1.12). Rates are commercially sensitive in many businesses; the record is one place to be deliberate about who can open it.
