We recently developed a new company structure and request clarity on the questions below.
1. Is it okay for someone to report to two people in the same department and to have that indicated in the new structure?
2. I have an employee we hired recently who is only two months old and has someone below her. We felt that as she settles, we should have her reportees reporting to the manager instead, but we do not want them to disregard her authority. How do we manage that?

The usual reporting arrangement is one solid line to the direct manager and a dotted line to the alternate or indirect manager. You will to communicate to the employees that the arrangement is temporary and just so that the new direct manager can settle in. You could also indicate for how long you expect this to be the reporting arrangement.
