Odoo 19 Employees is the central HR record used by every other HR app, including Time Off, Attendances, Payroll and Appraisals. It holds work information, private details, managers and departments, and it keeps the organisation chart up to date automatically. These are the topics HR managers ask about most.
The most asked Employees topics
- Departments and org chart: managers and departments set on each employee build the organisation chart without extra work.
- Private information: personal data, emergency contacts and identification details are visible only to HR officers.
- Skills and resume: employees can have skill levels and resume lines, which helps staffing and training decisions.
- Onboarding and offboarding plans: activity plans assign tasks to HR, IT and managers when someone joins or leaves.
- Documents and expiry: with the Documents app, contracts and work permits can be stored per employee and reviewed before expiry.
Practical setup tips
- Build departments and job positions first, then import employees with their managers in a single clean file.
- Decide early which users are HR officers and which are managers, because access rights control who sees private data.
- Keep Arabic and English names consistent so reports and documents print correctly in both languages.
