Note that some people distinguish a difference between between HRM (a major
management activity) and HRD (Human Resource Development, a profession). Those
people might include HRM in HRD, explaining that HRD includes the broader range
of activities to develop personnel inside of organizations, including, eg, career
development, training, organization development, etc.
The HRM function and HRD profession have undergone tremendous change over the
past 20-30 years. Many years ago, large organizations looked to the "Personnel
Department," mostly to manage the paperwork around hiring and paying people.
More recently, organizations consider the "HR Department" as playing a major role in
staffing, training and helping to manage people so that people and the organization are
performing at maximum capability in a highly fulfilling manner.

The Payroll module automates the pay process by gathering data on employee time
and attendance, calculating various deductions and taxes, and generating periodic pay
cheques and employee tax reports. Data is generally fed from the human resources
and time keeping modules to calculate automatic deposit and manual cheque writing
capabilities. This module can encompass all employee-related transactions as well as
integrate with existing financial management systems.
The Work Timegathers standardized time and work related efforts. The most
advanced modules provide broad flexibility in data collection methods, labour
distribution capabilities and data analysis features. Cost analysis and efficency metrics
are the primary functions.
Many organizations have gone beyond the traditional functions and developed human
resource management information systems, which support recruitment, selection,
hiring, job placement, performance appraisals, employee benefit analysis, training
development, health, safety and security, while others integrate an outsourced
Applicant Tracking System that encompasses a subset of the above.
