Family/Related Person Service 

Use

The Family/Related Person service enables the employees at your enterprise to display and edit data about their own family members and related persons. In this way, employees can keep their own data up-to-date, while simultaneously reducing the number of time-consuming and expensive activities performed by the Human Resources Department.

If an employee uses this service to update his or her family members and related persons, the old data is automatically delimited. Old HR data is not lost. Instead, it is kept in full so that historical evaluations are possible.
