What Weaf HR Is
Weaf HR is a human resource and payroll platform for a company and its staff.
Weaf HR is a human resource and payroll platform for a company and its staff. It holds the record of who works for you, what they are paid, when they are at work, when they are on leave, how they are performing, and everything that happens between joining and leaving.
It is multi-company by design: each company's data is separate, and a company signs up for its own account rather than being created by an administrator. The public website in chapter 3 is the front door to that sign-up.
The modules
The sidebar groups the system into modules. This manual devotes a chapter to each, in the order they are usually set up:

Users, employees, and the difference
One distinction causes more confusion than any other, so it is worth settling before anything else.
- A user — is a login: an email address, a password and a role that says what they may do.
- An employee — is an HR record: a person the company employs, with a department, a salary and a leave balance.
They are related but not the same. A worker who never touches a computer is an employee with no user. An external accountant may be a user who is not an employee. Creating one does not create the other, and chapter 7 covers users while chapter 9 covers employees.
