Core HR Features - Overview
Humadroid’s Core HR module equips you with the essential tools to manage people, time, announcements, and HR operations,
without overcomplicating the process. Below, you’ll find a quick admin-focused tour of each key section.
People
The People tab is your central employee directory and the backbone of your HR structure. As an admin, it gives you full
visibility into every team member’s profile, including roles, departments, assigned assets, documents, and compliance
acknowledgments.
You can quickly update employee records, assign reporting lines, or reclassify employment types. The Groups and
Structure views let you build teams for specific operational or permission needs, for example, creating a "Remote Tech
Team" group for targeted document or benefit assignment.
You can also use the Structure and Groups tabs to define team hierarchies or assign managers to specific units.
Inbox
The Inbox consolidates all HR-related tasks that require admin or manager action. From approving reimbursements to
handling policy acknowledgments, everything shows up here.
This includes:
- Reviewing document acknowledgment requests
- Approving absence requests
- Validating reimbursement submissions
- Accepting or rejecting benefit applications
Each task appears with a clear context and links to the relevant item or employee profile.
Compliance (Core HR)
The Core HR Compliance feature offers a simplified version of Humadroid’s full compliance module. It enables
administrators to create basic compliance workflows by assigning documents, such as internal policies, to specific
groups or employment types.
You can ensure that employees acknowledge and stay updated with:
- Information Security Policy
- GDPR/Data Protection Policy
- Code of Conduct
- Remote Work Guidelines
- or any other policy you follow.
This is ideal for companies that want to establish a culture of accountability and compliance without the overhead of
full audits or frameworks.
Assets (Core HR)
The Assets section in Core HR allows you to categorize and assign assets to employees in a lightweight way. Admins can
create categories (like "Laptops," "Monitors," "Access Cards") and track which assets are assigned to whom.
While it doesn’t have the advanced features available in the Compliance Module (e.g., lifecycle management, depreciation
tracking), it provides a straightforward view of equipment ownership across your company.
Updates
Updates is your internal communications dashboard. Here you can post announcements about new policies, share shoutouts
recognizing great performance, or inform the team about structural changes.
Every update appears in the dashboard of every employee, making it the most visible communication channel in Humadroid.
Absences
The Absences module helps you manage all types of employee time off. You can review, approve, or reject leave requests
and monitor balances.
Before employees can request leave, you need to define company-specific time-off policies in the Core HR Account
Settings. These policies determine the number of days off available, the types of absences permitted (e.g., vacation,
sick leave), and the approval process.
When an employee submits a time-off request, you'll see any overlaps with team members to help avoid scheduling
conflicts.
Reimbursements
The Reimbursements module simplifies how employees submit and how admins approve business expense claims. You can set up
custom categories with budgets (like "Conference Travel" or "Work-from-Home Equipment") and define approval rules.
As an admin, you're free to create reimbursement categories tailored to your company’s standards — whether it's
recurring monthly allowances or occasional professional expenses. Simply navigate to the Categories tab to define new
types and budget periods.
Admins can track how much of each category’s budget has been used and manage individual requests with ease, all while
eliminating manual follow-up or emails.
Benefits
In the Benefits section, you manage all non-salary perks your company offers. Add benefits like lunch stipends, wellness
packages, or reading budgets.
When setting up a benefit, you define:
- Who can see or apply for it (based on groups or employment types),
- Whether it requires manager approval,
- If employees must provide any additional information when applying (e.g., uploading a receipt, confirming
eligibility).
You can also monitor which benefits are most frequently requested and how many employees are currently enrolled in each,
helping you identify what’s valued most by your team.
Timesheet
Timesheet allows project-based time tracking by starting with project creation. .As an admin, your first step is to
create a new project, define its total and monthly budget, and assign responsible team members
Once this is done, employees assigned to the project will be able to log their working hours.
You’ll gain clear visibility into how time is distributed across projects, making it easier to manage budget
utilization, ensure productivity, and generate accurate reporting for both internal tracking and client billing.
Whether you're overseeing a fixed-bid client contract or monitoring internal R&D initiatives, the Timesheet feature
helps you stay in control of time and costs.
1-on-1s
Admins and managers can use the 1-on-1s tool to:
- Schedule recurring or one-off feedback sessions
- Assign talking points
- Keep a historical log of meeting notes
This module supports stronger employee development and communication practices.
By combining these Core HR features, Humadroid gives you full visibility and control over your team’s operations. You
can set structure, automate workflows, and ensure compliance — all from one centralized platform.
