The Reporting Manager in Zoho People is the designated manager to whom an employee directly reports. This field drives the organisation chart, approval workflows, leave approvals, performance reviews, and manager self-service access across the HR system.
The Reporting Manager field on an employee record identifies the person directly above them in the organisational hierarchy. This is not just an informational field — it drives multiple automated processes in Zoho People.
Some organisations have matrix reporting structures where an employee reports to both a functional manager and a project manager. Zoho People supports configuring an additional dotted-line reporting relationship alongside the primary reporting manager to accommodate this.
