1 Overview HR is at the heart of ESR because it contains all the core employee information used by other components of the system. HR covers the three scenarios of HR Management: new joiners, changes and leavers. The information held includes employee personal details (name, address, emergency contacts, equal opportunities data, competencies, registrations and memberships, qualifications etc.) and Assignment information (grade, post, contracted hours, place of work, salary etc.). Three levels of user access ensure the privacy of this information. Benefits Data maintained by the HR functionality within ESR is available to all other components of ESR recruitment, learning management, talent management, payroll and so on. This eliminates multiple data entry that is prone to error and causes much time to be wasted. Three levels of access control the security of this sensitive information: o HR Management - Allows broad access but in a view only mode. o HR Administration - Allows full read and write capability for HR-related employment details. Restrictions apply to payroll information that can only be accessed or changed by designated Payroll staff. o HR Data Entry - This is a limited subset of the HR Administration level that has further limits on the data that can be viewed or changed. A full suite of reports allows an organisation to plan workforce changes, development and re-organisation. All of the six mandatory NHS checks can be recorded and monitored. The Integrated Identity Management process to control access to the NHS CRS is linked via a specific HR User Responsibility Profile. Logic is applied to ensure that changes to an employee s assignment status controls their access to clinical systems where applicable.

4 Reference Requests Via Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) A standard reference request can be sent to an applicant s current/last employer using the IAT functionality. The standard reference request feature enables the IAT initiator to opt for the inclusion of a reference request. The reference is based on the templates outlined in NHS Employers guidance. An optional tick box called Request Reference is located on the IAT Initiate Person Request form. Once the IAT request has been approved, the reference request will be delivered via a Notification, to a Reference Approver role in the previous organisation.

The Reference Approver will receive a pre populated standard reference form

Contractual Changes Changes made to an employee s record can be either a Correction or an Update. In this example, the Working Hours have been changed from a specific date and are an update to the record. ESR logs all changes made to records, so a full employment history is available.
