HR & Staff ManagementHR / Admin

AthenaStar's HR module gives the HR Officer and Admin a single place to manage every aspect of staff records — beyond the basic payroll setup in the Staff Directory.

Staff Profiles

Go to Staff → Staff Directory → Edit Staff for any employee. The HR tab holds:

• Employment type (full-time, part-time, contract)
• Academic qualifications and certifications
• Emergency contact details
• Next-of-kin information
• Signed contract expiry date

Leave Management

Staff submit leave requests from their own My Profile → Request Leave screen. The HR Officer or Admin reviews requests under HR → Leave Requests and clicks Approve or Decline. Approved leave is reflected on the staff calendar.

Appraisals

Record annual or mid-year performance reviews under HR → Appraisals. Each appraisal entry captures the review period, overall rating, and comments. Historical appraisals are kept on the staff's profile for reference.

Disciplinary Records

Under HR → Disciplinary, log any formal warnings, suspensions, or other disciplinary actions. Date-stamped and kept permanently on the staff record — visible only to HR Officers and Admins.

Staff Transfers

If a staff member moves between departments, update their department assignment under Edit Staff → Department. If your school is part of a group and the platform supports cross-school transfers, use Staff → Initiate Transfer.
