A HR system is software that manages employee data such as holiday requests, sick leave, and emergency contacts. It can range from a basic Excel spreadsheet to specialised software that automates tasks and sends alerts—for example, notifying managers to approve or reject time-off requests.

Inside CORE System and The Main Features of a HR System
To take a look inside a CORE system, take a look at our last blog, Using CORE as a CRM for your Business.
Staff Members
In this example, we’re focusing on Staff Members – the core feature of your HR System. The screenshot shows a staff profile, displaying key details like name, start date, contract end date (if applicable), salary, and NI number. Below that, you’ll find their contact information. This entire section is fully customisable, allowing you to use the default layout or tailor it to suit your business needs.
Annual Leave Requests
In this example, we’re focusing on Annual Leave—another key feature of your HR System Powered by CORE Software. The screenshot shows a staff member’s leave record, including their total allowance, leave taken, and remaining balance. You can also view details of past and upcoming leave requests. This section is again fully customisable, so you can use the default setup or adjust it to match your company’s policies and preferences. In addition to this, you can set up your site to alert users directly to their email when their annual leave requests have been approved or denied.
Overtime Requests
Similarly to the annual leave requests, you can use your HR System Powered by CORE Software to monitor overtime requests within your business. This can include things such as hours submitted, approved, and pending. You can also review the details of each request. You can use the standard layout or adapt it to fit your business’s overtime policies and approval process.
Expense Claims
Another important feature of our HR System Powered by CORE Software is the expense claims section. This allows your staff to create expense claims for anything, upload image proof and calculate the total automatically. It also allows you as a system manager to easily view the running total of the expense claims and approve or deny each one, again sending alerts and comments to the user.
Conclusion
As an overview our HR System Powered by CORE Software can be an essential and vital part of your business which can help ease the on-boarding processes, monitoring employee’s annual leave and creating reports for compliance and analyse and much more. Our system can not only integrate with Power BI, but you can also integrate other software applications such as Microsoft Office (SharePoint) amongst others.
