Linux HR Management Systems?

dgcrawford writes "A growing, 100-person company I work for is looking to integrate a Human Resources Management System into their Linux computer base. Does anyone have experience with any products that fit this need? Does it interface well with payroll, applicant tracking, maybe even finance and stock or other non-monetary compensation? I realize most of you would look at this from an IT point of view, but how did the system work across fields? And how important/useful did you find this interoperability?"

    For payroll my company uses something called a "ledger", which is a sheet of paper where you keep track of what you're paying people. For applicant tracking and stock/other compensation, I'd suggest a "file cabinet".

    Since our HR department does everything in Excel, this tool would probably do the entire job.

      Ah, you obviously need to inform your HR department about the new EINA-FDB recommendations. The industry has been trying to get them generally accepted for years now.

    A quick 'apt-cache search human resources' revealed The Truth:

    craft - Warcraft 2-like multi-player real-time strategy game
    dstat - versatile resource statistics tool
    t1utils - A collection of simple Type 1 font manipulation programs

    Bugger, it might not be what you were looking for after all ;-)

    Cheers

    I recommend you send an email to Catbert, he has some uber-delicious tools. I've only seen a few, but they're quite useful!

    Please. To have to interface well with payroll, and have applicant tracking, maybe even finance and stock or other non-monetary compensation, AND block Zonk's posts is reaallly asking a bit too much of any HR management software, open source or otherwise.
