Problem Statement
Manual handling of employee information poses several challenges. Organizations that lack employee self-service are forcing employees are not able to access and manage their personal information directly without having to go through their HR departments.
The above problems can be tackled by solving and implementing a web-based employee management system (EMS). This system will maintain employee information in a database with full privacy and authorized access. It aimed at setting up an employee information system about the status of the employee, the educational background and the work experience, and other details of the employee through a password-protected system.
Objective
The objectives of this system include:
- Design of a web-based employee management system to fulfill requirements such as employee management, leave management, and report generation to assist in performance appraisal, Employee self-service, and employee training.
Actors
Our system has only two types of actors.
Employee
- A person employed for wages or salary
- Age 21 and above.
- Can view and modify personal information.
Scaler Placement Report and Statistics
Scaler learners achieved 2.5x salary growth with average post-Scaler CTC reaching ₹23L.
Admin
- An employee with special privileges
- Can create, read, modify and delete other employees except for self.
User Stories
