Designations
Designations are the job titles used across your organisation. Maintaining them centrally keeps titles consistent on employee records, contracts and reports, rather than each being typed differently.
Where to find it
Go to HRM > Settings > Designations > Add New.

Designation against grade
A designation is what someone does; a grade is what they are paid on. They are deliberately separate — two people can share a title on different grades, and payroll follows the grade, not the title.
