Employee Groups – what are they used for?

The ‘Employee Group’ functionality is used to group together staff members in order that you can control if they are visible on the ‘Clocking’ screen, and to configure some leave booking conditions for those staff members who are members of the group.  I.e., within the group record, you can block leave for specific days for staff members within the group, or to allow only those staff who are members of the group to book part-leave.
