Personnel Managers and Human Resource Directors are seeking to involve Line Managers, Team Leaders, or Divisional Heads in the day-to-day personnel management of the staff they directly look after. Whether it be return to work interviews, appraisal or simply notifying a change of employee address involving the first-Line-Manager has immediate benefits and cost savings. With SDMS V HRPersonnel for Windows – Line Manager Access Module – all these functions are available to SDMS users. Line Managers and Team Leaders can be given access to see or amend information about the Staff they manage or particular parts of this information and not others.
With its highly flexible design some users (typically Chief Executives) can be assigned top level access to all staff in all departments or several “sister” departments which they might oversee.
Alternatively particular managers or users within a department can be allowed access only to a specific part of the system, e.g. attendance or training records but perhaps not to pay or equal opportunities data. Reporting can be similarly restricted or limited.
