Question 2

Question 4

How does Novara HR manage employees?

Accepted Answer

Every employee has a single record holding their profile, department, designation, reporting line, documents, assigned assets and employment history. Changes are permissioned by role and kept as a timeline rather than overwritten.

Question 5

How does Novara HR handle recruitment?

Accepted Answer

Hiring runs as a pipeline. A job requisition opens, candidates are tracked through sourcing, screening, shortlisting, interview, assessment and offer, and an accepted offer carries into onboarding instead of being re-entered.

Question 6

How does Novara HR manage attendance?

Accepted Answer

Attendance is captured daily, including punches from biometric devices mapped to employees. Working hours, late arrivals and overtime are calculated against roster and shift rules, and corrections go through an approval trail.

Question 7

How does Novara HR handle leave?

Accepted Answer

Employees request leave against their entitlement, the request routes to the configured approver, and an approval updates the balance and the team calendar. Managers can act on requests individually or in bulk.

Question 8

How does Novara HR manage payroll?

Accepted Answer

A payroll run moves through preparation, validation, review, approval and processing. It reads basic salary, allowances, deductions, overtime, bonuses, loans and approved expenses, and reports cost by department and over time.

Question 9

How does Novara HR support performance management?

Accepted Answer

Performance runs on goals and KPIs attached to each employee, with review cycles, manager feedback and progress tracked over time rather than collected once a year.

Question 10

Does Novara HR have an AI assistant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nova is the assistant built into Novara HR. It answers questions from your own records and policy library, always with a citation, and it can prepare an action such as a leave request, an HR request or an approval decision, ready for a person to confirm. Nova never submits or approves anything by itself. It is enabled per organization, each tool it may use is permitted individually, and every tool call is recorded in a ledger.

Question 11

How does Novara HR help HR teams automate workflows?

Accepted Answer

Processes are configured as workflows with stages, conditional routing, named approvers, blocking tasks and automatic actions on completion, so approvals and record updates happen without manual chasing.
