Employee Profile
The employee profiles page is the heart of the employee database and an essential part of your HRM operation. Here is a quick tour of all the tabs.
**N.B. There are some tabs here which only appear when there is an associated add-on installed. So don’t be alarmed if you see less.
To go to the employee profile, you need to navigate to WP Admin Dashboard → WP ERP → HRM → Employees → Select an Employee.
General Info
Visibility: Admin, HR manager, employees (restricted).
This section holds all the basic information about the employee, basically what you find in common CVs.
To add data or update this section, click on the Edit button to the top.
There are also sections to add Work experience, Education and Dependants.
Pressing the Terminate button beside it will change the employee status to terminated. In the HRM module, you can mark your employees with different activity statuses like Active, Terminated, Resigned or Deceased. To change this status to available options, you have to go to the Job tab.
Pressing the Edit button will bring up this modal window.
Add extra details using the + buttons on each section.
Add education information.
Add previous work information.
If you are an employee trying to visit the profile of another employee, your view of the general tab will be partially
restricted and you will be seeing the profile like this.
