HR Agent FAQs
What is the HR Agent?
HR Agent allows users to quickly access essential HR information such as personal work information and leave credits, and simplify HR tasks such as monitoring attendance logs and timekeeping in Sprout HR via chat.
- Employee information: View employee profiles such as work information, salary history, and more.
- Leave credits: Check available leave credits.
- Attendance logs: View daily or weekly attendance reports.
- Timekeeping: Submit time entries (with human confirmation).
Why do I need the HR Agent?
HR Agent makes it easy to manage your HR needs without navigating multiple menus or systems. You can quickly check your personal work details, view salary history, track leave credits, monitor attendance logs, and even submit time entries—all through a simple chat, saving you time and effort.
How does the HR Agent work?
HR Agent works like your personal HR assistant in chat form. Just type your request—like checking leave credits, viewing attendance logs, or submitting a time entry, and it will pull the information or process the task for you, with human confirmation when needed.
Who will have access to the HR Agent?
All Sprout HR clients (admin, manager, or employee) with SSO mode enabled will be able to access HR Agent. Logging in to Sprout HR or Mobile via SSO is required before accessing it.
Can I use the HR Agent if I don’t have Sprout Payroll?
Yes! HR Agent works even if you only have Sprout HR (half sync), and it also works if you have both Sprout HR and Payroll (full sync). It won’t work if you don’t have Sprout HR, though.
What are the limitations of the HR Agent?
Currently, HR Agent has a few limitations:
- Aside from getting information from Sprout HR, HR Agent can only execute timekeeping tasks (clocking in or out). Take note that when clocking in or out via HR or Mobile, it won’t log your location.
- It can only retrieve your own HR information, so, for example, your manager can’t request your employee information.
