Employee records
Organise worker and employment information in a consistent structure. Define the ownership and update process for records used across the employee lifecycle.
The business perspective
Manual administration can distract HR teams from supporting people. Consistent records and coordinated workflows help make everyday tasks clearer for employees and managers.
Reliable people processes begin with clear records and understandable responsibilities. HR needs dependable employee information; managers need a practical way to complete tasks; employees need to know where to find information and how to request changes. We help define those journeys and the access required for each role. The scope also considers the systems surrounding HR, including payroll, recruitment and reporting, so the design reflects the full employee lifecycle.

A closer look at the capabilities and decisions that shape a useful solution.
Organise worker and employment information in a consistent structure. Define the ownership and update process for records used across the employee lifecycle.
Maintain positions, jobs and reporting relationships. Connect organisational changes to the processes and access decisions that depend on them.
Review leave plans, requests and approvals. Align the configuration with the policies and operating requirements that HR needs to administer.
Support the administration of relevant benefits and compensation information. Review eligibility, records and access needs with the responsible HR stakeholders.
Make routine information and requests easier to access. Design the experience around the tasks each role needs to complete.
Plan the exchange of employee and pay-related information with payroll providers. Confirm the integration responsibilities and reconciliation required for the selected solution.
From capability to everyday value
Explore possible starting points for your organisation. Each scenario connects a business need with work to consider and measures to review.
HR operations · Illustrative scenario
A change of manager or position must be reflected in several processes. Define the authoritative record, required approvals and downstream updates. Validate how the change affects reporting and access, including the handling of a correction made after the event.
Employee experience · Illustrative scenario
Employees rely on email to understand leave balances or request updates. Review the most common tasks, simplify the steps and make status visible. Test with employees and managers so the experience works for people outside the HR team.
Payroll coordination · Illustrative scenario
HR and payroll reconcile employee changes close to a processing deadline. Agree which data moves, when it is considered ready and how exceptions are resolved. Rehearse a representative processing cycle with both teams before relying on the integration.
The Defacto approach
We review your employee lifecycle, organizational structure and HR workflows, then configure a solution with appropriate access and adoption support.
Explore our approachReview organisational structures, policies and the processes in scope. Include employees, managers and HR administrators in the task design.
Define sensitive information, role boundaries and migration rules. Validate the relationship between HR records and connected payroll or reporting systems.
Use task-based training and clear guidance for common exceptions. Agree responsibility for policy updates, data corrections and ongoing service requests.

Not necessarily. Microsoft documents integration with partnering payroll systems. We assess your provider, country requirements and data exchange before defining the solution. Payroll processing responsibilities should be explicit in the scope and operating model.
Yes. Their tasks and information needs differ, so the design should reflect those roles. We review what each group can view, request or approve and test those boundaries with representative users before rollout.
Start by identifying which roles need each category of information and why. Review access, reporting and integration boundaries with HR and the relevant organisational stakeholders. Include realistic permission checks and data-handling scenarios in acceptance testing.
