SMART Human Resources (SMART HR) is structured as a series of modules that allow the district to decide what to implement to meet their needs. Since SMART HR is an integrated database, all users within a district must understand the uses of various data fields and ascertain that consistency is maintained across the modules. Security levels by user are established to protect confidentiality of information. A key feature of SMART HR is the date effective entry of data. This allows the user to record entries and changes when received, knowing they will not take effect until the date is reached. The districts Payroll and Human Resource Departments can then work from the same database without disrupting the workflow of either area.
