Employee Lifecycle & HR Operations

Overview

Most lifecycle failures are handoffs: the contract that never reached payroll, the probation review nobody scheduled, the leaver who kept system access. This module runs onboarding through offboarding as one connected workflow, where every event triggers the next owner and nothing depends on someone remembering. Employee records stay under strict, role-scoped access throughout.

What it does

• Onboarding workflows

  Preboarding checklists, contract generation, and first-day readiness coordinated before the start date, not after it.

• Probation milestones

  30-, 60-, and 90-day probation checkpoints tracked, with reminders routed to the accountable manager.

• Contract-event handling

  Renewals, role changes, and compensation changes routed to payroll, performance, and learning workflows the moment they are approved.

• Offboarding

  A complete leaver checklist (settlement, access, handover) with the replacement vacancy queued for recruiting review.

How a run works

Every module runs the same contract: the system drafts, a named human approves, and the approved artifact keeps its history.

1. 1Draft

   The module assembles the packet for the lifecycle event: contract, checklist, and the downstream changes it implies.

2. 2Human gate

   HR operations reviews and approves before any record changes or any document is sent; approvals are named, and self-approval is blocked.

3. 3Approved artifact

   The executed workflow updates the employee record, and each handoff (to payroll, performance, learning) lands in the audit trail with a timestamp.

Proof

• DENY-BY-DEFAULT RBAC

  Thirteen roles with object-level permissions: access to an employee record is granted explicitly or not at all.

• FIELD-LEVEL ENCRYPTION

  Sensitive employee fields are encrypted individually, not only at the disk level.

• HASH-CHAINED AUDIT

  Lifecycle audit entries are hash-chained, so history cannot be silently rewritten.
