Human Resources

Without any doubt, your most important business asset is your personnel and it goes without saying you should look after your team.

Most businesses use a Payroll System but in our experience very few small to medium businesses use a Human Resources system.

What does a HR system typically record?
  • Aspirations
  • Credit Cards
  • Disciplinary Actions
  • Grievances and potential hazards
  • Staff Groups such as Profit Sharing, First Aid, Social Club, OH&S Committees
  • Medical Details such as Blood Groups, Allegies and Dietary Requirements
  • Languages spoken
  • Licenses held
  • Locations
  • Occupational Health and Safety (details of injuries)
  • Performance Reviews
  • Positions held by each employee since commencement
  • Motor vehicles, Notebooks, clothing, phones and other property held
  • Qualifications and Skills
  • Training Courses available and attended
There are some good dedicated HR systems but the best option is to use one that is fully integrated with the Payroll system to avoid having to re key employee details in twice.
