What is Employee Profile 

Each employee hired into your altHR account will have an Employee Profile - this is their employee database. This Profile includes their Employment Information such as position details and join date, as well as their  personal, contact, compensation and identification details pertaining to the employee. 


What are Positions? 


Positions are the Job Title that each employee holds in the company. Vacant Positions must be created in each organisation for an employee to fill before being able to add a New Hire into your altHR Company Account. Admins are able to change an employees position within the company when needed - such as to move them to a different department or to hold a different title.


How to Manage Employment Information


Admins are able to Manage the Employment Information such as Editing the Position Profile or Moving the employee to a different position and/or different organisation (department or team etc). Personnel changes are common HR occurrences as employees move across departments and managers change. To begin, admins will have to identify which of the following type of change it is:


Edit Position ProfileThis is the process of editing the details of the Position this particular employee holds. This will not move the employee to a different position or organisation. Admins will be able to edit details such as the Functional Title (Job title), Job Band, Contract Type, Location of this position, as well as details tied the employee itself such as Employee ID, Manager and First Day of Work.
Change EmploymentThis refers to when an employee moves across the organisation into a new position. This can be due to a promotion or to fill a vacant position. Before changing employment, please ensure that the desired position exists in the system and is vacant. To create a vacant position, please read What are Positions?
Transfer PositionThis is the movement of a role to other organisations with the employee maintaining their current Position Profile. The employee, along with the position, is moved to a different organisation. For example, a Senior Cosmetician in a central cosmetics outlet may be moved to a northern cosmetics outlet. The employee maintains all their position profile details such as job title, but will now be placed in a different organisation called Northern Outlet.
