Redmine

HR management that runs inside Redmine: employees, leave and holidays, attendance, expenses, payroll and payslips, recruitment, performance and training, with a dashboard for every role. It uses the same login, the same permissions model and the same database as Redmine, and it changes no Redmine core files.

Modules¶

The core is always on. The optional modules stay off until you switch them on in Administration → HR settings. If you switch a module off again, its data is kept.

• Core: employees and employment history, organization structure, HR access roles, audit log, personal-data export and anonymization
• Leave and approvals: leave types, versioned policies, accruals, carry-forward, half days, approval flows with delegation, team calendar
• Holiday management: calendars by country, region and office, recurring and optional holidays, ICS and CSV export
• Self-service: employees see and update their own profile, leave, tasks, documents, payslips and expense claims
• Onboarding: checklists on hire and exit, assets and access revocation, probation reminders
• Documents: per-employee documents with versions, expiry reminders and acknowledgements
• Announcements: audiences, publish windows and acknowledgement tracking
• Reports and API: headcount, joiners, exits, leave and more, CSV and PDF export, REST API and signed webhooks
• Attendance (optional): web clock-in and corrections, timesheet periods with approval
• Expenses (optional): multi-currency claims and receipts, policies, limits, duplicate detection, advances

Installation¶

Run these from your Redmine root. The folder must be named plugins/redmine_hr.

unzip redmine_hr-1.0.0.zip -d plugins/
# config/configuration.yml needs a database_cipher_key (keep an existing one)
bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate NAME=redmine_hr RAILS_ENV=production
# Redmine 6.0 and later only
bin/rails assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production
touch tmp/restart.txt
# cron, every 5 minutes, as the user that runs Redmine:
# */5 * * * * cd /path/to/redmine && bundle exec rake redmine_hr:tick RAILS_ENV=production
bundle exec rake redmine_hr:doctor RAILS_ENV=production

Next, choose the modules under Administration → HR settings. Then open HR → Access and grant the HR Administrator role to the people who run HR. Redmine administrators don't see HR data unless they have this role.
