Human resource management

The Business Central human resources module is a very small module, but it relates to a critical component of the business: employees. Basic employee data can be stored and reported via the master table (in fact, you can use the human resources (HR) module to manage data about individual contractors in addition to employees). A wide variety of individual employee attributes can be tracked by the use of dimension fields:

  • Employee tracking: Maintain basic employee description data
  • Skills inventory: Inventory of the capabilities of employees
  • Absence tracking: Maintain basic attendance information
  • Employee statistics: Tracking government required employee attribute data such as age, gender, length of service
