What the module checks

  • The action is permission-aware.
  • Required values must pass the exact server-side validation.
  • Verify the saved record and audit/log result.

What happens next

The module saves the permitted change and records the resulting status, version, delivery or synchronisation evidence. Reopen the relevant register and verify it.

Troubleshooting

  • If the control is missing, confirm the required HRM permission and module version 1.3.0.
  • If saving fails, correct the exact field or state named in the validation message.
  • If an email/automation is missing, review the module delivery/audit log and host cron/mail settings.
HR data safety Restrict identity, right-to-work, payroll, bank, health, disciplinary and document information to authorised staff. Do not place protected values in free-text notes, email recipients or screenshots.
