Human Resources (HR) takes care of payroll, time recording, applicant administration, and organizational data. You can represent many different kinds of organizational structures in HR. Figure B.5 shows a sample company structure that you could create in HR.
Many processes are involved in HR, and many activities are related to organization and structure. Probably the most basic (and near and dear to our hearts) is payroll. The flow chart in Figure B.6 shows a typical payroll sequence.
Some general functions of HR include the following:
Tracking and controlling travel expenses and meeting room reservations.
Accepting input from an external time recording system.
Handling negative and positive time recording. In a negative time recording system, HR assumes that the employee is working her scheduled shift, and subtracts any reported exceptions to this. In a positive time recording system, HR assumes that the employee works only the hours he specifically reports.
Taking retroactive adjustments into account.
Referencing holiday schedules for different employee groups.
