Part I — Introduction
What Weaf HR Is
Weaf HR is a human resource and payroll platform for a company and its staff.
Part II — Getting Started
The Public Website
The welcome page is served at the root of the application and is the only screen a visitor sees before deciding whether to register.
Creating Your Company Account
Weaf HR is multi-company.
Signing In
Sign-in is reached from Login in the header, or directly at /login.
Finding Your Way Around
Every screen in the application is built from the same frame, and almost every screen inside that frame is the same kind of list.
Part III — Setting Up Your Organisation
Users, Roles and Access
Before anyone can use the system, they need a way in and a set of permissions.
Company Structure
Everything else in the system hangs off the structure set up here, so it is worth getting right before employees are added.
Employees
The employee record is the centre of the system.
Part IV — Running HR Day to Day
Leave Management
Leave is set up in three layers and then used in one.
Attendance and Time
Attendance answers whether someone was at work.
Payroll
Payroll is built from the bottom up: components describe the parts of a pay packet, each employee is given a salary structure made of those components, and a payroll run applies the whole thing to a period and produces payslips.
Recruitment and Onboarding
Recruitment runs end to end here: you describe the job, publish it, collect candidates, interview them, record what the interviewers thought, make an offer, and onboard whoever accepts.
Performance
Appraisal is made repeatable by defining what you measure before you measure it: categories group the indicators, indicators carry units and targets, and cycles set the rhythm.
Training
A programme is a course; a session is one delivery of it; an employee training is one person's place on it.
Asset Management
Company property is tracked here, together with who holds it and what it is now worth.
Contracts
Contract types describe the kinds of agreement you offer, templates hold the wording, and employee contracts are the agreements actually in force.
Documents
This module holds company documents and, importantly, proof that people have read them.
Meetings and Calendar
Meetings are scheduled, attended, minuted and — the part that matters afterwards — turned into action items with owners and due dates.
The Employee Record Over Time
An employment is not static.
Part V — Administration
Administration
The remaining pages configure the system itself rather than the people in it.
Developer Tools
Weaf HR can be driven by other software.
