About - Human Resources


The Human Resources (HR) Portal is a proprietary portal of pages for information management relating to your employees.

As with information management for Individuals, the Human Resources Portal has a listing page of all Employees that each have a Details page (and others) which filters list data sourced from lists for the particular Employee in focus.


 

Human Resources Portal Landing Page

For ease of finding a particular employee, the HR Portal Employee List page has radio button filter controls to filter

  • all employees that have had information tracked within ShareVision.
  • Active (current) employees within your organization.
  • Inactive (past) employees of your organization.

This filtering is determined by whether the employee's item in the Profiles - User list has a value for the Termination Date column.

Clicking or tapping the Employee row  in the table will take you to the Employee's Details Page.

User with access to the HR portal will also have access to their own employee record

  1. On the HR Portal Landing Page, select Add New Employee
  2. When Add New Employee is selected, the Add New Employee form in Site Administration will be displayed.

Human Resources Portal Pages

The Human Resources Portal comes with several default pages that ShareVision has recognized as beneficial to organizations. The pages are: Employee Details, Employee Certifications, Employee Documents, Employee Vacation Schedule, and Master Vacation Schedule 

As with any Portal on your ShareVision Site, the Pages and PageParts you choose to display are completely configurable to your organizations specific needs. You can add your own Pages and PageParts and hide the unneeded default Pages and PageParts shown in the Human Resources (HR) Portal by using the Pages: Set Up and Configuration and PageParts: Set Up and Configuration Knowledge Base Articles.

Employee Details

The Employee Details page is a snapshot of the important information the organization would need to know for each employee - contact information, jobs within the organization, training certifications and any important notes relating to the employee. 

The Employee Details page contains a several PageParts, each PagePart is responsible for capturing an aspect of the employee details;

  • Employee Information information sourced from the list Profiles - Users 
  • Employee History sourced from the list Employee History
  • Employee Training information sourced from the list Employee Training
  • Employee Notes information sourced from the list Employee Notes


Employee Certifications

The Employee Certifications Page allows you to list all certifications an employee has acquired - First Aid, Drivers License, and Food Safe are all examples of certifications that can be listed. Once a certification has been entered, you have the ability to alert users of expiration and renewals required by configuring the Email Alert Manager (Email Alerts) (EAM). 

Employee Documents

A Document Library which, on first visiting the page, will create a folder with the Employee's name in the Employee Documents library. From this point on the page link will directly open this Employee named folder for documents to be up or downloaded from. Like the individuals and services document libraries, folder can be auto created folders for all employee using the "Config Document Library Folders" setting in the Employee documents page part settings. For more information on using a document library, please read the


Employee Vacation Schedule

An Employee can request time off through a page 'Time Off Requests' in the Employee Services portal. A manager can visit the Managers Portal page 'Time-off Requests' to see the request and approve or decline applications.

To approve or deny a time off request, click on the request you'd like to change the status of and press edit - this will put the request form into edit mode. Next, in the Approval Status column select Approved or Rejected from the drop-down menu then click Save

Who Can Access the HR Portal 

The Human Resources Portal contains sensitive information that most employees should not be able to access, permission should only be granted to those necessary. By default all Site Administrators have access to everything on your ShareVision site - including the HR Portal. 

Other groups that have access to employee information in the HR Portal are the Manager and Supervisor groups. Each manager and supervisor will have access to the employees they manage or supervise - this information is entered in the employee's Employee Information. Looking at Jane Smith's information below, her manager Jerome Lerageaux would have access to her information in the HR Portal
