CoreStack People · HR & payroll software
HR and payroll software for laboratories & testing
An assessor will ask who is authorised to perform each test, what their qualification is and when they were last trained — the answers are HR records.
What HR deals with, day to day
Competence on record
ISO/IEC 17025 asks for each person's qualification, training, competence and authorisation, kept current.
Training that never ends
Method training, proficiency tests and refreshers, each to be recorded.
Long runs
Some tests run late, so the lab keeps an extended shift beside the general day.
Small HR team
Usually the quality manager ends up keeping the personnel files.

Questions people ask
Will this satisfy ISO/IEC 17025 personnel requirements?
It keeps the records the standard asks for — qualification, training, competence and authorisation. Whether your system satisfies the assessor depends on your procedures too.
Can technicians see their own records?
Each person sees their own profile, documents, leave and payslips; only HR and admins see everyone's.
