Hiring, payroll, appraisals, and staff finances

HR & employment

Post jobs with public apply, onboard hired candidates, run monthly payroll with payslip PDFs, manage salary records, and handle expense claims, with HR and finance working from the same staff picture. Growing schools need hiring and payroll to keep pace with academics. Schoolyi publishes careers pages, tracks applicants through to onboarding, maintains salary and compensation records, and runs payroll with downloadable payslips. Staff submit expense claims; HR and finance approve in structured workflows instead of email threads.

Why schools upgrade hr & employment

Growing schools need hiring and payroll to keep pace with academics. Schoolyi publishes careers pages, tracks applicants through to onboarding, maintains salary and compensation records, and runs payroll with downloadable payslips. Staff submit expense claims; HR and finance approve in structured workflows instead of email threads.

Connected to the rest of your SMS

Post jobs with public apply, onboard hired candidates, run monthly payroll with payslip PDFs, manage salary records, and handle expense claims, with HR and finance working from the same staff picture.

Questions, answered

Straightforward answers for visitors evaluating the product.

Who typically owns HR & employment day to day?+

HR teams, Finance, Staff run daily workflows in this module while leadership reviews dashboards and exports when needed.

Assign a workflow owner and test it with a representative staff account before the busy part of the term. Verify that approvals, coverage details, and sensitive fields remain within the intended role.

How does HR & employment connect to the academic calendar?+

Dates, working days, and class structure flow from the shared calendar so downstream modules do not maintain parallel date lists.

Set the academic calendar before enabling dependent workflows, then test one holiday and one working-day exception against the resulting attendance or exam view. Keep the school’s local policy as the authority for edge cases.

Can we phase this module after go-live?+

Schools often launch admissions, roster, and fees first, then add this module when the foundation data is stable.

Choose the next phase only after the team has reconciled one complete operating cycle. Record the data, role, calendar, and support dependencies before widening access.

Is training required for every role?+

Role-scoped workspaces show only the tasks each team needs. Most schools run a short coordinator session plus self-serve docs.

Assign a workflow owner and test it with a representative staff account before the busy part of the term. Verify that approvals, coverage details, and sensitive fields remain within the intended role.
