Introduction to SAP - HR

The SAP HR module enables companies to effectively manage information about the people in their organization. It is integrated with other SAP modules and external systems. From the Organization Management perspective, companies can model a business hierarchy, the relationships of employees to various business units and the reporting structure among employees. The Personnel Administration (PA) sub module helps employers to track employee master data, work schedules, salary and benefits information. The Recruitment sub module helps in managing the applicants data and for which position they got selected. The Organisational Management is the sub module to create the organisation structure. The Personnel Development (PD) functionality focuses on employees’ skills, qualifications and career plans. Finally, the Time Evaluation and Payroll sub modules process attendance and absences, gross salary and tax calculations, and payments to employees and third party vendors. The Training & Event Management sub module is to schedule the trainings and events for the employees.
