Proteus Vision HR monitors manpower requirements as a result of retirements, resignations, transfers, deputation, and vacancies created as a result of new requirements.
Vacancies can be filled through either internal or external recruitment.
The following is a synopsis of the various modules:
A searchable company database of available resumes can be scanned at any time to find the best candidates. This makes it easier to fill a task or position in the company, whether temporarily or permanently.
The external recruitment function allows you to define any vacancy requirement. Any type of activity, such as creating job ads or finding consultants, can be associated with recruitment. Applicants can be chosen based on the stated requirements, and if they are not hired, their information can be saved for future recruitment. It allows you to keep track of any application activity, such as interviews, medical certificate submissions, and so on.
Vision HR automates administrative tasks in the recruitment process, such as notifying candidates, generating “Letters of offer,” creating the candidate’s appointment, and automatically transferring resume details to the employee master. When a candidate is hired, the employee profile becomes active immediately. You can use workflow to automate communications and coordinate critical activities with other departments such as payroll, perquisites, and training requirements. It guarantees that the employee receives all of the resources that were planned for him or her during the recruitment process.
The system maintains an exhaustive record of the employee during his tenure with the organisation. Following is an indicative list of details, which can be maintained:
Payroll is one of the most sensitive administrative procedures in a company. Any disturbances in the payroll function can cause unwelcome irritation for both employees and administrators.
Since it is once in month exercise with small lead times for processing, any correction of errors is a difficult and laborious task. It is therefore essential that the payroll function provides your organization with all important information it needs with regard to personnel costs, work hours, and many other details involved with it on time and accurately.
Vision Payroll can process all this information. It allows you to make an unlimited number of test payroll runs and use both standard and custom reports. Since Vision Payroll is fully integrated with other areas of Vision, information transfers are automatic with a minimum number of entries. Vision Payroll can be easily modified to meet specific statutory requirements.
Proteus Vision HR pay structure has been designed in a manner that provides versatility and flexibility for payroll administration.

The module also has provisions to add any number of allowances / deductions. Users also have the option to define formulae for allowances / deductions.

Tables containing pay elements, formulas, balance templates, and other system functions can be used together or separately by individual companies or in any combination.
Time and Attendance allows you to manage employee absences and hours worked more efficiently. The data collected in Time and Attendance is then used in payroll administration.
Attendance can be captured from a recording machine or manually entered at sites that do not have time recording machines. To be considered for attendance, approved official tour days or “Off-Site” attendance can be configured.
Overtime compensation models can be configured with specific rules governing the compensation of available overtime and the permissible overtime periods.
Attendance Management, which is seamlessly integrated with Payroll, handles multi-faceted reporting on vacation, illness, personal leave, Medical Leave, maternity, and other types of leave based on company policies.
Vision HR Payroll Administration does not keep cumulative values. A balance is calculated when needed by using the original transactions. This lets you change the criteria for creating balances any number of times, between any number of dates. It also allows you to run arrears calculations based on the pay structure applicable to the employee at a point in time.
