Core HR software

Core HR that works by your rules

Core HR in Skailer is an HRIS that lets HR teams keep employee records, org structure, leave, documents, and access in one system. Change it once, it applies everywhere

core HR software employee record with position history
01Built on your structure
Entities, departments, grades, and roles, set up your way.
02Access that follows the org chart
A role can cover one legal entity, one location, or a manager's whole reporting tree.
03The data you actually track
Custom fields, plus tables that keep dated history.
04Changes that carry through
A promotion updates the record and its access in one step.
The problem

Five HR tools mean five updates per change

A promotion means updating records, leave, documents, and access by hand. Someone misses one, and HR spends the week syncing data.

Company structure

Describe your company once, and let Skailer follow you

Entities, locations, departments, and reporting lines sit on one org chart. Roles, tracks, and grades form job profiles. Access and custom data use the same model and follow every structure change

01Org chart
departments, divisions, teams, and reporting lines built from employee records
02Legal entities
each employment record names the entity, contract, and employment type
03Job profiles
role, track, and grade with a display name, salary range, and description
04Teams with leads
teams cut across departments, each with its own team lead
company structure with job profiles in core HR software
Employee database

Keep every employee's data on one record

Each profile holds personal details, position history, leave, signed documents, and custom data. Employees update their own details, read announcements, and enroll in benefits during open enrollment

01Custom fields and tables
15 field types, plus historical tables with dated history
02Own profile
edit personal details, emergency contacts, and allowed fields
03Signed documents
sealed PDFs with their certificate land in the employee folder
04Department lookup
manager, headcount, and members of any department in one view
employee record with compensation history in the core HR system
Roles & permissions

Scope access by role, entity, and reporting line

Roles are built from the same data as the org chart. Assign them by location, department, or job profile, and scope them to reports or one legal entity. After a transfer or a reorg, scopes recalculate on their own.

01Five built-in roles
myself, all employees, managers, team leads, and admins
02Custom roles
your own mix of people-data and feature permissions
03Scoped access
country HR sees its country; managers see their whole tree
04Hidden by default
new custom fields stay hidden until a role gets access
role editor with access scoped to one legal entity
Employee lifecycle

Run every hire and exit on the employee record

A promotion or transfer becomes a dated history entry, the new position's roles apply, and any process you set up starts. Offboarding hands the work to a named successor.

01Preboarding page
documents, surveys, and tasks before day one, and nothing else
02Portal access
limited until the start date or until required onboarding flows finish
03Onboarding from the offer
start date, manager, location, and entity fill the profile
04Handover on exit
a required successor on every termination
Time off & attendance

Leave management by your own policies

Set accrual, carryover, and limits once per policy, with separate policies per department under one leave type. Requests reach the right approver, even when that approver is away

01Policies per team
several policies under one leave type, each with its own rules
02Accrual and carryover
11 accrual schedules, tenure milestones, and accrual by FTE
03Country holiday calendars
official holidays added and refreshed automatically
04Approval routes
parallel or multi-stage, with substitutes and Slack decisions
leave management software approval workflow
FULL-CYCLE HR

Core HR in full-cycle HR management software

Core HR modules in Skailer share one record, so nothing is synced between them. The position feeds roles and leave policies. Recruiting, performance, and surveys run in other parts of Skailer on the same data.

all entities, one chart
02Employee records

What is Core HR in Skailer’s HR management software?

Skailer is full-cycle HR management software, and Core HR is the part that holds the company structure and every employee's record. The org chart, roles, records, leave, compensation, documents, onboarding, and offboarding work on one set of data, so a promotion updates the record and its access. Recruiting, performance, and surveys run in other parts of Skailer on the same data. Skailer records what each person is paid and what they cost; your payroll provider calculates and pays it.

Access & audit

Know who sees each record and what changed

Each role opens only the data it needs, per field group, custom field, and table column, scoped by location, entity, or reporting line. New fields stay hidden until granted.

How it works

How Core HR works in Skailer

01Model your company
add legal entities, locations, divisions, and departments, then build job profiles from roles, tracks, and grades in Career architecture
02Bring in your people
import employee fields, positions, employment, compensation, custom tables, and time off balances from CSV or XLSX, or hire people from Recruiting
03Set roles and policies
decide who receives each role and whose data it opens in Roles & Permissions. Add leave policies, approval policies, and holiday calendars per country
04Let changes carry through
transfers and promotions become dated position records with a reason. A termination names who takes over, and roles, approvals, and leave follow from then on
