We have collated articles of processes that you can do as an employee in Sage HR. If you are an employee new to using Sage HR, this is an ideal guide to get up to speed with common tasks you can do when using Core HR, Leave Management, or other additional Sage HR modules like Timesheets and Expenses.

📌TIP: You can also download some PDF user manuals for employee users at the bottom of this guide.

📎NOTE: For help with tasks such as viewing payslips and P60s visit the Employee support hub for Sage HR Online Services (UK only).

What you can do in Sage HR depends on what HR modules your employer uses:

  • Core HR - This module allows you to do things such as view and upload documents, view announcements, add training etc.

  • Leave Management - This module allows you to do things such as request time off, view your time off balance, and view your company's calendar etc.

  • Timesheets - This module allows you to do things such as enter and submit your timesheet hours. You can even use it to clock in and out for work

  • Shift Scheduling - This module allows you to do things such as view your shift schedule and even state your availability for shifts

  • Expenses - This module allows you to upload and submit your expenses for approval

  • Performance - This module allows you to do things such as book 1-to-1 meetings with a manager, request feedback, and manage your goals etc.

If you're unsure what modules your company uses please clarify this with your HR admin.
