HR task management software
Give every HR task a clear owner
Task management for HR: assign work about a specific employee, set a due date with reminders, and track it on that person's profile from start to finish.
Employee work gets lost in inboxes and sheets
A laptop request sits in a Slack thread, the contract scan in a spreadsheet, a leaver's follow-ups in her inbox. HR spends the week asking who owns what.
Link each task to the employee it concerns
Work about an employee is often done by someone else: IT prepares a new hire's laptop, a manager collects a signed policy. A task has an assignee and, separately, a related employee, and both profiles show it.
Set reminders once so HR stops chasing follow-ups
An open task past its due date moves to Overdue and shows first. Before that, reminders bring it back to the assignee. In-app notifications are always on, with email and Slack as extra channels.
Create tasks from Flows so every hire gets the same steps
The Create task action in Flows turns an HR event into tasks. When someone is hired, terminated or changes position, or on a schedule, a flow creates a task for each person its rules select and waits until all are done.
Give each person one list that starts with overdue work
My tasks collects everything assigned to the signed-in person in To do, Completed and Archived, with Overdue on top. Open tasks also show in Things to do on the home page, and new hires see theirs before day one.
Control who works on each task and keep its history
Three role permissions decide who uses Tasks, and each task decides which actions a person gets. Comments, files and the activity log keep every change. When an employee leaves, open tasks pass to the successor.
Tasks on the same records as the rest of Skailer
A task follows the person through onboarding, a move and offboarding. Flows decide when work is created and for whom; Tasks is where a person owns it and finishes it.
How does task management for HR work in Skailer?
Tasks is the HR task management software in the Skailer HR platform, where HR teams, managers and employees assign, track and complete work about a specific employee. Each task has an assignee, an optional due date and a related employee, so it shows on that person's profile. Overdue tasks come first, reminders go out in the app, by email or in Slack, and Flows can create tasks on hire, exit or a schedule. Role permissions set access, and an activity log records each change.
Where spreadsheets and project tools stop for HR
Teams choosing HR task management usually compare 3 options: spreadsheets and chat, a project management tool, or tasks inside the HR platform.
| Capability | Spreadsheets & chat | Project management tools | Skailer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Link to the employee | A name in a cell | Usually a label or custom field | Assignee and related employee, on both profiles |
| Who gets the task | Whoever reads the message | Usually assigned by hand | By hand, or by Flows rules on department, manager |
| Reminders | Manual follow-ups | Usually due-date notifications | Preset or custom schedule, plus manual reminders |
| Overdue work | Found by asking | Usually a filter or view | On top of every list and the home page |
| Access | Shared file or channel | Set by project membership | 3 role permissions plus task-level actions |
| When the assignee leaves | Work stays in their inbox | Usually reassigned by hand | Open tasks pass to the successor |
