EMPLOYEE HR SERVICE · Workflow idea

Help employees reach the right HR support without automating people decisions.

Organize incoming employee requests into broad service areas such as policy questions, leave inquiries, attendance corrections, complaints, or hiring administration. Use approved guidance for routine information, keep employee details private, and route all decisions about leave, pay, discipline, complaints, attendance records, or candidate selection to qualified HR staff.

Keep in mind

HR conversations may reveal highly sensitive personal information. Minimize collection, restrict access, and apply clear retention rules. Never approve leave, change attendance or payroll, decide complaints, discipline employees, rank applicants, or make hiring decisions automatically; route those matters to qualified HR staff.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define request categories and responsible teams

Map common topics to HR owners and escalation paths.

Approve current employee-facing policies

Assign policy owners and effective dates for guidance available to employees.

Set privacy and sensitive-case boundaries

Restrict access and retention and define handling for complaints and personal records.

Prohibit automated employment decisions

Require qualified human review for leave, attendance, payroll, complaints, hiring, and discipline.
