From recruitment to payslip, without Excel

Teachers and staff are a school's biggest asset, and its biggest monthly expense. Keeping employee files, leave balances, attendance and salary calculations in separate registers and spreadsheets leads to errors and disputes.

The employee and HR module of Ultimate School Manager manages the whole employee life cycle, from job opening and entry test to joining, attendance, leave, payroll and exit, with an employee portal and app for staff self-service.

Key Features

Recruitment and selection

Manage job openings, track applicants, conduct applicant assessment tests and collect feedback.

Employee records

Keep complete employee profiles, documents and joining details in one place.

Attendance and leave

Record staff attendance and let employees apply for leave from the app; admins approve or reject online.

Error-free payroll

Process salaries with attendance and leave already accounted for, and get payroll information at the click of a button.

Staff ID cards

Print staff ID cards in print-safe vertical layouts, with the school name and signatory you configure.

Employee portal and app

Staff view their profile, leave, attendance and timetable through the employee portal and USMConnect.

Employee onboarding

Send an offer on a secure link. When the candidate accepts and joins, USM creates the employee, opens the document checklist, and issues offer, appointment and joining letters.

Resignation and exit

Staff can resign from the app. HR tracks notice, handover and clearance, then issues the relieving letter, experience certificate and full-and-final settlement.

Rewards and wishes

Record rewards and recognition, and send school-branded birthday and work-anniversary wishes to staff and students.
