HR Process

What is the HR Process feature in Zoho People?

HR Process ensures seamless management of employee transitions in department, designation, location, and employment status. This helps when there is an organizational restructuring or when employees move for personal or professional reasons.

How to use the HR Process feature?

Administrators and HR: Set up multiple HR processes when employees transition from one department, designation, and so on to another. These processes can include updates to specific employee fields, role-based access for raising requests, and an approval process if required. 
Employees and managers: Employees and managers will be able to raise an HR Process request right from their Home > Team > HR Process tab. Once it's approved, their new information will be updated in the system.

Setting up HR Processes 

Let's look at a use case of setting up a department change HR process:
  1. Enable HR Process by navigating to Settings > Employee Information > HR Process tab > Basic Details > Enable
  2. Navigate to the Processes tab and click Add Process


  1. Enter the basic information in the Add Process window and upload a process document, if applicable.
  1. Configure the transition fields. These include the key transition field update, which in this case is the Department of the employee. You can also configure secondary field updates, which in this case is the location.

IMPORTANT
Employee fields which can be updated through the HR Process feature includes:
Department
Designation
Locaton
Employment Type
Reporting Manager
Business
Entity*
Business Unit*
Division*

*For organizations that use the Organization Structure feature.












  1. To configure who can raise HR Process requests and to specify if they can raise for others, themselves, or both, click on Add Role.
  2. Select the roles you want to authorize and use the checkboxes to allow requests for yourself, the reportee, or both. This can be further configured in the next step.

  1. Configure an approver by clicking Configure Approver. In this case, we have selected the HR Administrator as the approver. Multiple approvers can be added if required.
  2. Review your configuration and click Save to confirm.

Initiating a HR Process Request

Let's see how employee information such as their department, location, etc., can be updated using the HR Process feature in Zoho People.
Alert
Employee data of joining records must be updated in the employee form in order to initiate HR Processes.
Let's look at a use case of raising a department change HR Process request
  1. Navigate to Home > Team > HR Process > Initiate Process.
  2. Select a Process. In this case, we will go with Department Change.

  1. In the next screen, select the employee you are requesting the transition for. In this case, an employee named Randall is selected. Multiple employees can also be added. Click Next once the selection is completed.

  1. Select the new department and any associated secondary fields. Enter the effective date and reason for the change.

  1. Click Submit Request. The HR process is now successfully initiated. 
Idea
HR Process can also be initiated from Home > My Space > Overview > HR Process tab


Approving a HR Process Request

  1. After an HR process request is initiated, it can be approved by the approver. This can be done from the notification received. (Home > Bell icon) Alternatively, navigate to Home > Team > HR Process and select the corresponding request.


2. Once the request is opened, review the details and click View. Here, you can approve or reject the request, as well as add a comment. Once this is approved, based on the effective date, the employee record will be automatically updated, and the same will be reflected in the employee's career history page.



Tracking HR Process Requests

HR Process requests can be tracked from Operations > Employee Information > HR Process
Click a specific request to view more details, then click View for options to Approve, Approve All Levels, Reject or Forward a HR Request. Note that available options depend on your role/permissions.



Individual employees can also track their HR requests from Home > My Space > HR Process tab
