# Assign Team and Workgroup

:lock: Employee.**AssignTeamWorkgroup**

## Overview

This operation assigns an **Employee** to a particular **Team**, Workgroup and position. This operation is only valid for the manager of the **Employee** - the operation Special Assign Team and Workgroup bypasses this restriction.

## Preconditions

* The **Employee** exists in the system.
* The **Employee** can only be assigned to a Position where he holds a valid **Certification** (in state active or grace period) and which is required for the selected Workgroup.
* If a Workgroup is set, the Position must also be set and vice-versa

## Sequence of Steps

The Assign Team and Workgroup wizard can be called from the **Employee** page within the Business Data menu entry.

### Step 1: Details

1. Verify the current information. The system will present the status to indicate the impact on the assignment of the **Employee** to a different Team and Workgroup.

2. Select the new **Team**, **Shift Plan**, Workgroup and Position where to assign the **Employee**. The system will also list the impact of assigning the **Employee** to the new **Team** and Workgroup.

3. Press Assign to complete the Wizard.
