Effectively track your employee data and manage all of your personnel files.
At a time when it's imperative to keep organized, consistent, and accurate records on all employees, HR File Builder (formerly Employee File Builder) can provide you with the best possible documentation.
I have used this program from Version 2.0 up to Version 4.1. I use it mostly for tracking training certifications and updates. To date, I have over 300 individuals in the database.

"Keep Tabs on Personnel Files" The information you need about your employees extends far beyond a list of whom to call in an emergency. With Employee File Builder from JIAN, it's easy to create and update a complete file on each of your employees. I liked working in the tabbed interface, which organizes employee information into customizable topics like Employees, Corporate Views and Company Policy. Buttons specific to each section appear along the right side of the screen.
During setup, I defined 36 user fields for specific information, such as hobbies, special needs or security check requirements, choosing text, numbers, date, currency or Yes/No as field types.
The program offers a lot of visual assistance, from a timesheet—like attendance chart to a variety of standard bar and pie graphs that allow you to filter which employees the program reports on.
Using the built-in Crystal Reports engine, I could request more than 45 reports, ranging from job history to certifications and training. If you have Crystal Reports on your system, you can modify the layouts. EmployeeFileBuilder also supports printing labels on nine different Avery forms.
The program lets you import from dBASE, Access, Paradox and FoxPro, but not from comma-separated or tab-delimited files. You can also change the background color as well as colors for file folders in use-a nice touch if you spend a lot of time working with employee files.
EmployeeFileBuilder makes it easy to keep track of the complex array of employee data.
Use HR File Builder human resources management software to effectively track your employee data and manage all of your personnel files.
