Human Resource is probably the most important asset for any organization. It becomes a herculean task if your assets are not handled with care. OpenERP helps to manage minute details about your human assets.

 Openerp HR Module

• Hierarchy management: OpenERP is able to assign who reports to whom. Even if there is a slight deviation in reporting, that can be configured.

• Change log: Whenever any change is made to the employee profile, in OpenERP the same can be done with an easy to read log available to the HR administrator. Ex: salary changes, hierarchy changes, status changes, etc.

• Status codes that are flexible to reflect the employment cycle: Probation, active, on leave (for reason: paternity, sick leave, etc.), terminated (for reason), etc. OpenERP HR moduleeven supports interns, paid and unpaid.

• Position management:With categories for positions itprovides easy headcount reports.

• Salary change tools: HR may need to apply effective dates for salary changes applied in the past. In project costing environments, retroactive cost changes to project plans should be tied in.

• Ability to extend the employee profile to include fields important to the business, to avoid storing information in multiple files outside the system.

• Reports on any HR data that can be exported to Excel.
