HR solutions for a Microsoft world
I’ve been waiting for this one like I used to wait for Christmas as a child (or to be completely honest, like I wait for Christmas now. I’m one of those really annoying people that is desperate to put the decorations up as soon as we hit December). When D365 HR first launched as D365 … Read more
A while back I wrote a post saying that I was going to branch out a bit from D365 HR and talk about some of the other shiny things Microsoft have that can help HR teams out. Since then I’ve written precisely one post, and it was about Dynamics. But, you know, there’s been a … Read more
Praise be to Elvis (and certain lovely people in the Talent product team who shall remain nameless), the feature we’ve all been asking for since July 2017 is here… You can now copy a Talent Core HR environment. There’s been some confusion around this for a while now. So let’s take a little bit of … Read more
This is another one of those features that falls into the category of ‘everyone knows that, right?’… …And then you have a conversation with someone who’s never worked with Dynamics before and is trying to implement Talent, and you realise that Task Guides is the feature you wished you had 15 years ago when you … Read more
I had a conversation with a customer today about how they could take the end result of their pay review (in a spreadsheet) and use that data to create new compensation lines for workers. It’s really easy to do with the Excel Add-in, so I thought I’d make a quick video showing how it’s done … Read more

Fixed compensation plans are where the compensation grids and pay rate conversion, along with rules about how strictly the values in the compensation grid should be adhered to. As you might expect, these are legal entity specific too, and they created under Compensation management > Links > Fixed compensation > Fixed compensation plans. To create … Read more
If you’re an old hand with these products you might be familiar with a feature called ‘Personnel Actions’. I’m stewing on that for a future blog post but if you don’t know anything about it, don’t worry. If you do know about it, you’re probably aware that fixed compensation actions are required even if personnel … Read more
If everyone in your organisation is awarded an annual salary, then this bit of setup is easy. More often than not though, it’s not quite that simple. Organisations might have hourly paid staff, weekly paid staff, employees who get 13 payments a year because they get an extra payment in the summer just in time … Read more
Compensation grids are where you finally combine levels with reference points and add the financial values. The financial values you enter here are what will control how much workers get paid (although there’s one setting in fixed compensation plans that allows you to override this, but we’ll get to that later). Because we’re entering actual … Read more
