HR

HAQQ eFirm carries a human-resources module for the firm itself — attendance, paid leave, holidays, training and internal policies — so a practice does not need a second system for the people who run it.

What is in the HR module

HR has seven sections, reached from the HR dropdown in the breadcrumb at the top of the page. The list below is the module as it actually ships — the release notes describe four of these, and the other three have never appeared in a changelog at all.

Attendance and working hours

Working Hours is the attendance register. Each row is a record with a type, the employee it belongs to, the time it was recorded and the date it applies to, plus free-text notes. A Check in control sits in the toolbar, so clocking in happens from the same screen that shows the history.

The table filters, sorts by any column, lets you choose which columns are shown, and exports — the same grid behaviour the rest of eFirm uses.

Leave

Employees submit leave requests and managers approve or reject them. Balances are tracked automatically by leave type and by year, so the balance is derived from the requests rather than kept by hand. Each request shows its computed number of days, and hovering a leave entry in the calendar shows the detail without opening it.

Performance reviews

A review is scheduled against an employee and a reviewer, with a review type and the year and quarter it covers. It carries a status and an awaiting field naming whoever it is currently with, so a stalled review is visible rather than silently open. The outcome is a score plus two free-text fields: reviewer feedback, and career-progression notes.

Trainings, contracts and reports

Admins create mandatory trainings, assign them with due dates and track completion; employees mark a training done and upload the certificate against it, so the evidence sits with the record. Employment contracts are held per employee.

Two HR reports sit under /hr/reports. Sick-Pay breaks each employee down into requests, total days, paid days, unpaid days and compliance flags across a period you pick. EOS liability covers end-of-service obligation.

Employee policies

A dedicated portal holds firm-wide policies and internal regulations: publish, organise and version employee policies in one place. Because policies are versioned, “which version was in force in March” is answerable.

What shipped when

The module arrived in three releases. If something described here is missing from your workspace, the release it belongs to is the first thing to check against Product updates.
