Overview
Beacon HR is a cloud-based application that allows institutes to accurately maintain individual employee, contractor, and volunteer information, as well as plan for, monitor, and report on workforce staffing levels. With Beacon HR, users can update employee information quickly and easily, while also having the ability to view the official records at any time. Based upon the functionality found in VEDS, Beacon HR blends official NIH employee and payroll information with Institute specific staffing knowledge to deliver the most accurate and complete Fiscal Year FTE and Cost projections available. The suite of ready to run reports included with the system can be supplemented with additional custom reports as well as user defined reports generated via the new Ad Hoc Report builder. Since personal user IDs determines individualized access privileges, the information available to one user might not be identical to the information available to another, even if both are using the same system.
