The Metro Employee Management module provides a simple and effective HR application – from new starters and leavers to change of details, all of this and more can be managed.

This module also caters for absence management and holiday planning requirements. In addition, self-service functionality allows employees to book absences, schedule training and note their availability to work.

Vacancy Management - Management can create a vacancy to identify shifts required for future schedules that best suit the needs of the business. Vacancies can be merged or swapped with new starter employees once recruited.

Starter & Leavers - The Starters and Leavers function allows management to create new employees within the system. The module also allows management to mark an employee as an immediate or future leaver, including the ability to note exit reports, reasons for leaving and re-hire information.

Employee Records - Employee Records provide a complete HR Record with all the fields you would expect to find in a comprehensive HR system. All changes to the record are backed up with a full audit of when a change was made, what the change was, and who made it.

Emergency Contact - The Emergency Contact tab enables businesses to record details for next of kin/emergency contact information. Multiple emergency contacts can be created.

Change of Details - The Change of Details module enables users to change and update both personal and business information relating to an employee record. All changes, by effective date, have configured workflows for approvals, including a complete audit trail.

Approval Workflow - This function ensures changes to an employee record are controlled and approved as appropriate to the company structure and policies.

Audit Trail - A full audit of any changes made to the employee record is maintained, including the effective date and who approved it, along with old and new values for reference. All changes can be reviewed by users with the appropriate permissions.
