Staff Administration & Automation

The module Staff Administration & Automation provides all important functions for organizing your employees. You have all data and documents of each employee at a glance. The Dynamics platform even gives you access to information from the different departments of your employees.

HR for Dynamics provides automation for a large number of routine activities out-of-the-box. Time-consuming routine tasks are thus handled by the software. You only need to monitor with the support of comprehensive dashboards.

In HR for Dynamics, all employees and managers have access to a convenient Self-Service Portal. These self-services also reduce the load of routine tasks for HR administration.

Directly after you have made your purchase decision, all departments can immediately work completely integrated. Software islands are eliminated and multiple data entries are a thing of the past.

Integrated Staff Administration & Integration

In the future, your entire staff administration will take place in one single location.

You have access to all personnel data and HR documents. The Dynamics platform even gives you access to information from all other departments, such as commissions from sales or time bookings from project management. You only need to maintain data once in one single place. Employees even maintain data that has been released for self-service themselves.

Routine tasks such as creating certificates are automated by workflows. For many of these routine tasks, the software already includes best practices that you can try out and then simply adapt to your needs. Reminders ensure that you never miss an important appointment and upcoming deadlines are always visible in the dashboard.

Convenient features like a certificate generator, an organization chart that is always up to date and a company-wide calendar complete off the module.

Integrated work without IT islands

HR departments use on average 7 programs from different suppliers - one software for recruiting, one for administration, one for training management and so on. These programs don't communicate with each other. This means multiple data entry which is not efficient. In addition, countless Excel files are still often managed.

With HR for Dynamics, you work fully integrated from the very first day. You only have one HR solution and, thanks to the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Power platform, you can even access data from other departments at any time - without complex integration projects!

Even external systems such as access controls, the payroll system, fleet management or automatic driving license checks can be connected without any problems. You will never again have to enter data twice. IT islands and departmental boundaries disappear! You save a lot of time and money and your colleagues will enjoy increased comfort.

Employees' complete data and documents in a 360° digital personnel file

With conventional HR programs from the time where IT islands still existed, you could manage some to many data in the employee administration. In HR for Dynamics you can see ALL of the employee's data in a 360° digital personnel file - including documents and data from other departments.

• Contact & contract data
• Salary details & development
• Correspondence & scanned documents
• E-Mails & phone call memos
• Information regarding education & trainings
• Skills & development
• Organizational affiliation & equipment
• Maternity leave, parental leave & absences
• Data from the departments, e.g. provisions from Sales
• Commissions from the sales department
• Time bookings from Time & Attendance
• Customer satisfaction from Customer Service
• Project hours from project management
• Absences from production

But how does it work? The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Platform allows HR, departments and employees to work together without any restrictions immediately after the system goes live - without tedious integration projects!

Automation of routine tasks

Routine activities in HR are tedious. Many of them can be automated. Do you still calculate vacation days and remaining leave manually? HR for Dynamics provides automations for a large number of routine activities. You only need to monitor them with the support of comprehensive dashboards. Here are some examples:

• Complete automation of leave (request) management
• Consideration of region-specific public holidays
• Fully automated management of sick leaves
• Calculation and billing of expenses
• Automated request for A1 Certificate
• Automated updating of salaries based on target achievement
• Automated preparation of payroll
• Project Service Automation Integration
• etc.

You can create further automations within few minutes by yourself.

Every employee is individual - your HR software can handle it!

Employees have different working times, hours or shifts agreed in their employment terms in order to cater to their individual needs. Your HR solution must be able to respond to this - without causing additional effort for HR.

Work patterns make it possible for HR managers to schedule even irregular work hours easily and smoothly. This is especially helpful for all the employees that don't have a "nine to five job" or consistent working hours like part-timers, apprentices, working students as well as seasonal workers and shift workers. Work patterns offer a maximum of flexibility to the HR Manager because they allow for spontaneous changes in the work schedule.

Self-Services for employees and managers reduce effort in HR administration

In HR for Dynamics, a convenient Self-Service Portal is available to all employees and managers. These self-services also relieve HR administration from routine tasks.

Employees can now enter their own attendances, absences, activities, travel expenses, and receipts without having to go through the HR department. They can also check their remaining leave and change master data such as bank details.

HR for Dynamics also offers Manager Self-Services (MSS). Managers can complete their management tasks conveniently and waiting times for employees are reduced considerably.

Time Tracking and Access Control

Time tracking and access control in one solution? No problem! With the integrations to manufacuturers like Dormakaba, you don't have to use different systems any longer. You can find everything in your familiar HR for Dynamics solution.

You can easily decide which employee should have access to which entrances and doors by assigning them to access groups. With the integration you won't have to choose one type of time tracking. A combination of physical time clocks like one from Datafox and the virtual time clock from HR for Dynamics is also possible.

Employees can punch in punch in their times right where they are: at the terminal at the front door in the morning, with their computer by using the virtual time clock before the lunch break or also from the living room working from home. All the time stamps will be merged in the solution and are visible at a glance.

Health and Safety are the priority

The module Health and Safety offers professional health management to prevent accidents and illness outbreaks in your company.

You can maintain which (preventive) examinations are relevant for each of your employees and how often they should be conducted. If a health check is due for renewal, employees automatically receive a message reminding them of the check.The employees can receive the message via Microsoft Teams, Outlook or Microsoft ToDo App.

As HR Manager, you always have an overview of pending and overdue health checks and can therefore always keep an eye on the employee's health care status.

Record and automatically report work accidents

In the event of a work accident, it is ensured that all important information is documented. Using the intuitive interface, all required data for the employer's professional association can be entered. For example, form-based and standardized export functions facilitate the transfer to insurance companies etc. You only need to enter all data once and do not need to fill in any other documents.

Accident reports and absence management go hand in hand: If the employee's work related accident results in the inability to work, there is no longer a need to request an extra sick leave. All data is managed in one single location.
