School Software Pro users who are assigned with the role of an employee are called School Software Pro employees. An employee here may either belong to teaching staff or non-teaching staff in your institution. The role of an employee is automatically assigned to an individual, when the employee is admitted into the institution. When admitting an employee, the employee’s privileges are set according to the responsibilities the employee is assigned in an institution, thus creating a Privileged Employee.
For more information about assigning employee privileges, see the section User Roles and Privileges in the School Software Pro Institution Setup User Guide. The administrator or a privileged employee (HR Basics privilege is required) can use the employee admission form, to admit a new employee in School Software Pro. Click the Module access icon > Administration > Human Resource > Employee Management > Employee admission.
