Overview
Historically Merge mapped the Teams Common Model to represent an Employee's subdivision in a company, usually a department. Each employee was grouped into one specific Team.
Deprecation of Teams
We found that the Groups Common Model is more flexible and comprehensive, as different API providers represent an Employee's Team, Department, or Business Unit in varying ways. Groups will have all of the same capabilities as Teams going forward and more.
Merge will no longer support the Teams common model after April 20th, 2023. This means we will not add any improvements or support any bug fixes related to Teams. We strongly recommend using Groups as it has the same capabilities as Teams and is more comprehensive.
Groups Common Model
A Group represents any subset of employees. The Groups model will contain the full set of all subdivisions within a company, which can include cost centers, pay groups, teams, departments, and many more.
