Course Overview

The HR Performance, Metrics and Payroll Management course by Open Source is a comprehensive training program designed for HR professionals, payroll administrators, and people analytics specialists seeking to master integrated human resource operations. This course covers performance management frameworks, data-driven HR metrics, and end-to-end payroll processing using open-source tools. Participants will learn to align employee goals with organizational KRAs (Key Result Areas), automate payroll cycles, and generate compliance-ready reports. With over 20,000 developers and 180 global partners supporting its ecosystem, the Open Source HRMS platform is increasingly adopted by mid-sized enterprises aiming to consolidate HR functions into a unified system, reducing dependency on multiple licensed tools.

The hands-on labs are conducted in a live Frappe Framework environment where learners configure salary structures, set up income tax slabs, run payroll processing, and build custom dashboards using the low-code Frappe UI. A key project involves simulating an end-to-end appraisal cycle—setting SMART goals, enabling self-assessments, managing 360-degree feedback, and linking performance outcomes to variable pay calculations. These labs provide real-world experience in automating complex HR workflows while ensuring compliance with regional labor and tax regulations.

This course prepares candidates for professional proficiency in open-source HR systems, a skillset increasingly recognized in organizations pursuing cost-effective, transparent, and customizable HR solutions.
