HRMS System Features
HRMS system features are usually compared on a global list. Three of them decide whether a product is workable for an Australian employer.
Record retention. Employee records generally have to be kept for seven years and be able to be produced. A system that archives aggressively, or makes historical records hard to retrieve, creates a problem you will not notice until you need them.
Award and agreement handling. Modern awards affect pay, hours, breaks and leave. A product that assumes a single set of employment terms will be worked around manually, and manual workarounds are where errors live.
Leave rules. Long service leave differs by state and territory, and personal and annual leave accrue on rules that overseas products rarely model correctly without configuration.
The Fair Work Ombudsman sets out the record-keeping requirements. This is general information rather than legal advice, and obligations vary by state and territory.
