# Workforce & HRIS Overview

> Overview of the Workforce & HRIS core in Encore OS — purpose, scope, and key responsibilities.

The Workforce & HRIS core (HR) manages human resources and workforce operations for Encore OS — employee records, applicant tracking, onboarding, scheduling, time and attendance, payroll integration, performance management, credentialing, and HR compliance.

<Note>
  **Architecture:** HR is a domain core that depends only on **Platform Foundation** and contains no hidden clinical logic. Onboarding and offboarding hand off to **IT** for provisioning, and payroll runs through the **Proliant (ReadyPay)** embedded payroll integration (HR-44).
</Note>

## The employee lifecycle

Candidates move from requisition to offer, onboard with an IT provisioning hand-off, then run through recurring operations (time, scheduling, payroll) and ongoing development and compliance — ending in offboarding that hands back to IT.
