Staff Information







Previous Topic  Next Topic 

The Human Resources module Staff Information feature is used to enter and update staff information records for employees.  Each staff information record includes payroll group status history, job title, personal, demographic, supervisor, and work schedule information for the employee.  Corresponding reports generated from data entered in this feature are accessible from the Reports module.

IMPORTANT! A staff information record must be entered for each employee before he or she can become an AWARDS user.

Required Permissions

The Staff Information feature is available to members of the "System Administrator" user group and to users with the following permissions:

Display Executive Administration Buttons (not required for members of most user groups, including "Executive" and "Direct Care" level groups or "Human Resources Staff")
Human Resources (ONE of three available - which of the three you have impacts your ability to work with the data found in the HR module; for more info, click here)

  NOTE:  Permissions are assigned using the Permissions Maintenance feature.  If you do not have access to that feature and need a permission listed here, please contact your supervisor or your local Help Desk for assistance.
