Employee Record

Single source of truth for an employee's data.

Lives in the HRIS. Includes role, manager, comp, time off, performance, and lifecycle events. Should be the system of record everything else integrates with.

The most damaging anti-pattern is parallel records — the HRIS says one thing, payroll says another, and the org chart says a third. Single source of truth, with everything else syncing from it, is the cure.
