What is the HRMS Platform?

HRMS is a single, end-to-end Human Resource Information System that consolidates the full employee lifecycle — from recruitment and onboarding through time & attendance, payroll, benefits, performance, learning, and eventually offboarding — into one application, with role-aware self-service for every layer of the organization.

The domain model is built around a core aggregate: a Person (an individual) can have one or more Worker records (e.g. employee or contractor), each Worker has one or more Employment records with a legal entity, and each Employment has one or more Assignment records that place the worker into a Position, Grade, and reporting line. Nearly every other module in the system — leave, attendance, payroll, performance, learning, assets, documents — hangs off the Worker as the central hub.

Access Model

Access is role-based (RBAC) with four hierarchical roles, each inheriting the self-service capabilities of the roles below it:

See the Use Case Diagram for what each role can do, and the Class Diagram for how the underlying data is modeled.

Technology Stack

• Framework: Next.js (App Router) with React Server & Client Components
• Database: PostgreSQL, accessed via Prisma ORM
• Authentication: NextAuth.js, session-protected by middleware on every route except sign-in and auth APIs
• File Storage: Supabase Storage, used exclusively for private, signed employee/company document uploads
• UI: A custom vanilla-CSS "glassmorphism" design system (no CSS framework dependency)

For the full picture of how these pieces fit together, see the Component Diagram and Deployment Diagram.
