Basic personnel system is a bare-bones approach to an HRMS incorporates date bases that often mix written records on file with other data elements stored on a computer database. The data maintained by this type of system focus on the following areas. (1) employee records (e.g., individual profile, personal information sheet, application form, orientation acknowledgement, employment agreement or contract); (2) payroll ( wage or salary, attendance and vacation entries, and pension and benefit data); (3) staffing ( job descriptions for executive and key organizational jobs only); (4) basic data required for compliance with pertinent labour legislation.
