HR People

PEOPLE

The People menu consists of the users in the organisation (excluding unapproved users in Lucidity Induction).

People Menu

There are several methods which can be used to create users in the Lucidity System. Each organisation will need to develop internal processed to determine the best option to suit business needs. For more details on these options refer to the Creating Users in Lucidity page in the user guide.

In the People page of Lucidity HR, administrators can:

  • Create and edit people

  • Apply access permissions to people (via Lucidity Access)

  • Convert users between people types

  • Archive people

  • View individual employment periods, employment reviews and HR records

 

Within the People page, users are categorised by people types - employees, casuals and subcontractors. Users can be found either via searching on the All page or via the specific Person Type page. 

Tasks from the All Page

Some tasks can only be completed from the specific Person Type page and not from the All page. If a particular function can't be located on the All page, navigate to the specific Person type page.

Create People

 

Users can be manually added to Lucidity HR from the People page by:

  1. Select the appropriate person type (employee, casual, subcontractor)

  2. Click 'Add New'

  3. Complete the fields (see table 'Definitions of Fields' below)

    1. The details captured for each user may vary slightly between each system configuration. Fields marked with * are mandatory.
