HR Reporting
HR Analysis
Go to Employees > Reporting > HR Analysis. Pivot with:
- Dimensions: Department, Job Position, Manager, Contract Type, Tags.
- Measures: Number of Employees, Total Wage Cost, Male/Female/Other.
- Filters: Active Employees Only, Department, Date Hired Range.
Time Off Analysis
Go to Time Off > Reporting > Time Off Analysis.
- Dimensions: Employee, Department, Time Off Type, Status.
- Measures: Number of Days, Number of Requests.
- Track absenteeism rates by department.
Attendance Analysis
Go to Attendance > Reporting > Attendance Analysis.
- Dimensions: Employee, Department, Day of Week, Hour.
- Measures: Worked Hours, Late Minutes, Early Departure Minutes.
- Export for payroll processing.
Turnover & Headcount
Compare headcount and departures over time (using the departure date logged during offboarding) to calculate turnover rate by department — a key metric for spotting a team with a retention problem before it shows up in performance numbers.
Best Practices
- Keep employee records up to date (emergency contacts, documents).
- Run the auto-allocation scheduler yearly for time off balances.
- Review overtime patterns using attendance analysis.
- Use the org chart to understand reporting lines before reorganizing.
- Run onboarding/offboarding checklists every time, even for "obvious" hires and departures — most access/equipment issues happen when a step is skipped because "this one is simple".

Time Off Management
Time Off Types
Go to Time Off > Configuration > Time Off Types.
- Vacation – Paid time off. Allocate days per year.
- Sick Leave – Medical leave. Can require a certificate.
- Personal – Unpaid or paid, as configured.
- Other – Maternity, Paternity, Bereavement.
Configuring a Time Off Type
- Color – Calendar display color.
- Allocation Type – No allocation, Fixed days per period, Based on worked time.
- Validation Type – One step (manager), Two steps (manager + HR).
- Allow Negative – Go negative on balance (e.g. borrow from future).
- Unpaid – Mark as unpaid leave.
Employee Time Off Request
- Employee goes to Time Off dashboard.
- Clicks Request.
- Selects time off type, start/end date, reason.
- Remaining balance is shown.
- Submits. Notification sent to manager.
- Manager approves or rejects.
- If approved, the calendar is updated and, if payroll is installed, the leave automatically reduces worked days on the next payslip.
Attendance
Go to Attendance. Employees check in/out via:
- The Attendance app on their dashboard.
- Kiosk mode (tablet at reception, optionally with a barcode/PIN per employee).
- Quickenerp mobile app (with optional GPS/geofencing so check-in only works on site).
Managers can view Attendance Analysis: hours per employee, late arrivals, early departures.
Allocations
Go to Time Off > Allocations. HR can manually allocate time off days. Use the Auto-Allocation scheduler to distribute annual leave at the start of the year.
Employee Lifecycle Events
Onboarding
When a new employee record is created, an onboarding plan can attach a checklist of activities (IT account creation, equipment issue, orientation meeting, policy sign-off) as scheduled activities on the employee record, assigned to whoever owns each step (IT, manager, HR) so nothing is missed in the first week.
Offboarding
When ending employment: set the contract's End Date, run the Departure Wizard from the employee's form (Actions → Register Departure) to set a departure reason and date, revoke system access, and archive the employee record (data is kept, not deleted, for historical payroll/reporting).
Appraisals
If the Appraisals feature/app is enabled:
- Schedule periodic appraisals (e.g. every 6 or 12 months) per employee, automatically or manually.
- Manager and employee each fill a form covering goals, achievements, and areas to improve.
- Final meeting and rating are logged on the employee's record for future reference.
Employee Surveys
Simple engagement or exit surveys can be sent through the Surveys app and linked to HR follow-up activities, useful for structured feedback beyond the formal appraisal cycle.
