Handling pay rules, overtime, shift premiums, callback scenarios, and compensation structures across employee groups
Keeping qualifications, recertification requirements, training, and workforce readiness up to date
Managing rank-based approvals, delegated authority, and information-sensitive workflows
Keeping up with reporting, operational visibility, and workforce accountability requirements
Coordinating hiring, promotion, onboarding, leave requests, and workforce changes without disconnected processes

Protect sensitive law enforcement data with stronger access control and operational visibility

Law enforcement organizations need systems that protect sensitive workforce and operational information while still giving the right people access to the data, approvals, and workflows they need to do their jobs.

Talk to us about how StarGarden helps law enforcement organizations manage security, role-based access, approvals, scheduling, payroll, and workforce processes in one integrated system. StarGarden follows industry security standards such as SOC 2, supports strong encryption and audit logging, and gives organizations the controls they need for sensitive operational data.

How StarGarden helps:

Control access with role-based security, configurable security groups, SSO support, MFA-ready authentication flows, and authentication options for different user populations
Protect sensitive records with encrypted communication, encryption at rest, audit logging, encrypted backups, and tested disaster recovery procedures
Support information-sensitive workflows such as investigations and restricted-access operational processes so the right people see the right information at the right time

Secure law enforcement workforce and operational data management

Questions law enforcement agencies often ask

StarGarden gives law enforcement agencies strong control over who can see what, who can act, and who can approve. You can apply role-based security, customer-defined security groups, SSO, MFA-ready authentication, audit logging, and encryption in transit and at rest to protect sensitive workforce and operational data. StarGarden also supports fine-grained authorization based on organization structure, locations, and employee groupings, which helps agencies lock down access to highly sensitive records.

For police-specific workflows, StarGarden supports information barriers and restricted-access processes, so the right people see the right information at the right time. In the police sector model, for example, an officer under internal review can see their own duty status but cannot see the internal affairs investigation file, and evidence access stays controlled by task permissions. Federation Server strengthens that further by supporting secure interagency workflows, authority-based routing, and precise control over access across communities and teams.

Yes. StarGarden supports complex scheduling and workforce planning, including platoon rotation, backfill, overtime handling, and court-related schedule disruption. It can also apply competency checks, support overtime equalization logic, and reflect collective-agreement-driven scheduling parameters in a more controlled way.

Yes. StarGarden helps you track qualifications, recertification dates, training history, prerequisites, and workforce readiness in one system. For law enforcement teams, that means you can keep critical qualifications visible, trigger training workflows before they expire, and make better deployment decisions based on current status.

Yes. StarGarden supports workflow-driven processes, authority-based routing, and information-sensitive access control. That helps law enforcement organizations manage investigation teams, disciplinary processes, and other restricted workflows while keeping the right information visible only to the right people.

Yes. StarGarden connects scheduling, time and attendance, approvals, and payroll in one integrated system. Your team can reduce duplicate entry, move approved time into payroll more efficiently, and manage premiums, banked time, retro pay, multiple rates, and complex payroll rules with more control.

Yes. StarGarden gives employees and managers self-service access for time entry, leave requests, schedule inquiry, approvals, pay review, workflow requests, shift availability, and shift swapping. That helps reduce manual administration and keeps day-to-day workforce processes moving.

StarGarden combines integrated HR, Payroll, Time and Attendance, Reporting, Workflow, and Federation Server capabilities in one platform. That helps law enforcement agencies connect positions, authority, competencies, approvals, and workforce processes across platoons, units, ranks, and specialized functions while giving users a more consolidated view of their responsibilities.

Key Capabilities

Document Management includes capabilities to support secure employee file storage, controlled access to general document groups, self-service access, legacy document migration, and workflow-driven letters and messaging.

Store Documents Directly Against the Employee Record

Attach multiple documents of different formats and sizes to an employee record, including CVs, education certificates, immigration documentation, licenses, leave requests, discipline letters, and resignation letters, all kept in one place alongside the rest of the employee's data.

Separate Employee Files from General Document Groups

Employee-specific documents are only visible to users with the security rights to access that employee's information. Document groups such as workplace forms, policies, and onboarding materials are kept separate, with their own security, and can be made available through Employee Self Service or Manager Self Service.

Give Employees Self-Service Access to Their Documents

Employees can view and download documents such as T4s, pay advices, skills and certificate records, and organizational policies through Employee Self Service, where security allows it, reducing routine document requests to HR.

Migrate Legacy Paper Files at Scale

Bulk scanning and upload of legacy paper files is supported, with metadata tagging applied so scanned records can be classified and retrieved efficiently once they're in the system.

Manage Letters and Templates Through Workflow

Store letters, policies, and onboarding packages in folders built from templates with merge fields that pull data directly from the system. Generated letters are saved as attachments in the employee's record, and workflow can track responses, such as a candidate accepting an offer letter.

Send Messages and Notifications Across the Organization

Messages can be sent to users, roles, positions, divisions, departments, or cost centers, appearing on the dashboard calendar, requiring acknowledgement, or sent by email, all from within the same system as document management.

How Document Management Works

SG6 gives HR teams a structured system for storing employee documents, controlling who can see them, and connecting document activity to workflow-driven processes like onboarding and offer letters.

Attach and Organize Documents

Documents are attached directly to the employee record or placed into document groups, with metadata applied so files can be classified and found later, whether uploaded individually or migrated in bulk from legacy paper files.

Control Access by Document Type

Employee-specific documents stay restricted to users with the security rights to view that employee's information, while document groups like policies and forms can be exposed through Employee Self Service or Manager Self Service for broader access.

Act on Documents Through Workflow

Letters, onboarding packages, and offer documents move through configured workflows, with responses such as an accepted offer letter tracked automatically and the resulting documents saved back to the employee's record.

Full Connectivity Across all of StarGarden

Document Management connects directly to the modules, processes, and workflows across SG6, so employee files and HR documents stay connected to the rest of the employee record rather than living in a separate system.

Core HR

Document Management connects to Employee Demographics within Core HR. Documents such as certificates, licenses, and identification are attached directly to the employee record, so HR can view an employee's complete file alongside their demographic and position data without a separate system.

Extended HR

Document Management sits within Extended HR alongside Recruitment, Employment Equity, Employee Relations, Health and Safety, Performance Management, and Training and Development. Candidate resumes and certificates are stored against the applicant record during recruitment, and training content can be housed in document management for use in training workflows.

Workflow

SG6's embedded workflow toolset routes document-driven processes such as offer letter acceptance, onboarding document checklists, and leave requests requiring supporting evidence. Documents uploaded as part of a workflow are saved back to the employee's record automatically.
