# Team & employees

> Lightweight HR records — profiles, skills, certifications, pay and role rates, availability, and time off — that feed dispatch, timesheets, and job costing

The Team module is NEXOS CORE's lightweight HR record. It extends each internal
user with an employee profile and the operational data the rest of the platform
needs: skills and certifications, pay rates, role/cost rates, a weekly
availability template, and time-off requests. It's a system of record — no
payroll processing or PTO accrual math.

Open it at `/employees`.

## When to use it

* Onboard a staff member by linking their user to an employee profile.
* Record skills and certifications so dispatch can match techs to work.
* Set pay and role/cost rates that feed timers, work orders, and job costing.
* Define a weekly availability template for dispatch load-balancing.
* Log and approve time-off requests.

## What it tracks

* **Profiles** — job title, department, employment type, hire/termination dates,
  status (active, on leave, suspended, terminated), contact and emergency details.
* **Skills & certifications** — trade, IT category, or certification, with a
  proficiency level, a certified flag, and expiry date.
* **Pay rates** — hourly, salary, per-diem, or flat, with base and overtime
  rates and effective dates (history retained).
* **Role rates** — a bill rate (from the billing role) plus an employee-specific
  cost rate, with a computed margin.
* **Availability** — a 7-day template with per-day hours and a max job-slots
  count.
* **Time off** — start/end/reason with an approve action.

## How it feeds the rest of the platform

* **[Dispatch](/dispatch)** reads skills for AI tech-matching and availability for
  per-day load balancing.
* **[Time tracking](/time)** and **[work orders](/workorder)** use role and cost
  rates to compute billable and cost amounts.
* **[Projects](/project)** job-costing uses member cost rates.

## Good to know

* **No payroll or PTO accrual** — time off is a request list with an approve
  flag; there's no hours math, accrual, or balance tracking.
* Departments, trades, and role lists are fixed (not tenant-configurable) today.
