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.
