This section introduces what the Employee tab is and what you can find inside.

The Employee tab in Better HR gives you full visibility and control over your workforce data. Once selected, it opens to the Employee Directory, showing a complete list of employees and essential details such as name, department, position, location, and manager.

From here, HR/admin users can:

  • Create new employees

  • Promote, Transfer, Adjust, or Resign existing employees

  • Search, sort, and manage employee data efficiently

Below the Employee Directory, six sub-sections are available for more specialized HR tasks:

  • Update Request – Review employee-submitted personal/tax information updates (e.g., NRC, passport, insurance, SSN, tax number).

  • Reporting Lines – Drag and drop to update managers and reporting structure.

  • Department Structures – Reorganize departments by dragging and dropping.

  • Skills – Add skill categories and assign skills to employees.

  • Employee Movements – Log and track job actions (promotions, transfers, resignations) and export reports.

  • Employee Documents – Upload and assign files like contracts, CVs, reviews, and job-related documents.
