HR Tool Initial Setup and Configuration

Step 1: Set up HR Administrators

After installation, the only user who can access the HR Admin panel is the user with ID:1 which is typically the Claromentis Administrator.

As part of the on-boarding process, you need to nominate at least 2 members of HR administrators. These users are going to have full access to the HR admin panel to configure the system further.

  1. Navigate to Admin Panel > HR Admin
  2. Users will be prompted to set up to create a new HR password. This password is an extra layer of security to access HR-related functionality.

 

 

Step 2: Set up HR Roles & Rights

By default there are 4 roles available, click the edit (pencil) icon to assign the following roles to the appropriate users.

  • HR Admin: These users will be able to view and edit all HR information belonging to all members of staff.
  • Payroll: These users will be able to view Salary & Benefit tabs belonging to all members of staff.
  • Staff: Set users who are going to be using the HR tool.
  • Managers: These users will be able to see HR information on their subordinates only based on the Org Chart.  

Click on the Rights tab to customise what each group can do further. This is an important step to ensure your system is secure. Here is our recommended setup:
