HRMS Software Features

The functions (or functionalities) of human resources software can vary greatly depending on the program you want to purchase. For this reason, all the requirements that the company needs for the new program must be defined prior to choosing the tool.

How to select the functionalities of the human resources management software?

Not all companies have the same needs when talking about human resources. The size, the number of workers, the capacity of the human resources department or even the budget are some of the conditions with which companies work.

Assuming that the more functions the HRMS software contains, the better it will be is a very common mistake in some companies. It is not necessary to purchase the package that presents more functions, but rather the one that presents the required functions. In addition, the price of the most complete packages will be considerably higher than that of packages with more reduced functionality. The HR Software Guide compares the different types of human resources software most used on the market according to their specialty and price.

Essential features of HRMS software

The functions of the human resources department of a company encompass everything related to the employees of a company, from the history of the workers to the selection of new personnel. There are currently a multitude of tools that help reduce the workload of the HR team.

1. Payroll software

The payroll software automates everything related to the payroll of workers within a company. Thanks to its integration within the company's systems, the software is capable of collecting information on schedules, attendance, taxes or deductions.

2. Absence control

Managing employee absences is expensive for most companies, not only in relation to administrative bureaucracy but also cost control. The absence control modules allow managing all staff absences from the same place where you can also view the people available to fill the position. In the same way, these functions allow to know the reasons for the absences and the frequency with which they occur. 

3. Selection

This module allows you to carry out the entire employee selection process , from the establishment of an available position, to the management of candidates or the control of interviews. This function can include the management of candidates external to the organization or the company's own staff. This section normally covers:

·         Organization of potential candidates

·         Analyze staff usage within an organization

·         Databases with candidates organized by different criteria (qualifications, languages, experience, etc.)

·         Analysis software to evaluate candidates

4. Employee self-service

The self - service employee  is a section within the HRMS software in which the employee can independently access and modify your personal details, consult relevant data such as payroll or even request a holiday period . In this way, misinformation errors are reduced and the employee database is continuously updated by them.

5. Manager self-service

In the same way that employee self-service streamlines all matters related to the day-to-day life of employees; manager self-service makes the manager's job easier. Through this module, a manager can carry out routine tasks that in other cases must be carried out by the human resources department, such as approving or rejecting employee vacations.

6. Other functions

Only a few features are explained here, however there are other important features that can be of great use to many companies. The ignorance of these characteristics can lead to the acquisition of a program with deficiencies for the needs of your company. The Human Resources Management Software Guide presents a list in which you will find all the functions of the human resources software that you can use during the selection process of this type of programs.
