Common phrases

to assign tasks

to distribute work

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the noun 派別, which refers to a faction or school of thought. While 分派 can be used as a verb for assigning, using it as a noun to mean a group or branch is less common in everyday speech and can sound confusing.
