Pro HRMS (add-on)

Plan: Pro HRMS add-on

Pro HRMS adds the HR tools you need beyond attendance: a company feed, your reporting structure, referrals, asset tracking, policies and a support desk. It also adds the Manager role, so team leads can look after their own people.

Plan needed: Pro HRMS is a paid add-on. Its menus appear only once it is active on your account. See Billing & Plan for current prices.

Find the Pro HRMS menu

Once the add-on is active, a Pro HRMS menu appears in the top bar for admins and managers, and in the employee panel. Everything below lives in that menu.

Organisation Feed

A shared wall for announcements, welcomes and celebrations.

  1. Click Pro HRMS → Organization Feed.
  2. Type in the post box. Click Photo / Video to attach media.
  3. Choose who sees it: Everyone or Specific Department.
  4. Click Post.

The Org Tree shows who reports to whom.

Daily Work Updates

Employees click Submit Today's Work Update and describe what they worked on. Admins and managers see everyone's updates under Pro HRMS → Daily Work Updates, filtered by date or employee, and can Export them.

Assets

Keep track of company laptops, phones and other property.

  1. Click Pro HRMS → Assets → Add Asset.

HR Support

A help desk for questions about attendance, leave, payroll and other HR matters. Employees click Raise Ticket, add a subject, description and up to 5 files. HR and admins see all tickets under Pro HRMS → HR Support and move them through Open, In Progress, Resolved and Closed with Update Status.

Make someone a manager

  1. Click Organization → Employee List and edit the employee.
  2. Open the Employment step and set System Role to Manager.
  3. Click Save Changes.

The manager panel

When a manager signs in, they land on the Manager Dashboard. The menu has:

PageWhat managers do there
My TeamSee everyone who reports to them, with designation, joining date and status.
Team AttendanceCheck the team's daily attendance and punches, and review attendance correction requests.
Team LeavesReview the team's leave requests and approve or reject them.

Approve a leave request

  1. Click Team Leaves.
  2. Click the eye icon on a request to open Leave Request Details.
  3. Click Approve, or Reject with a reason.

A leave needs both the manager and HR to approve it. After the manager approves, the request shows "Approval Pending from HR" until HR gives the final approval. If either one rejects it, the leave is rejected.
