Every good workplace needs a Human Resources Officer. Welcome to your job! Aside from being the second highest ranked person on the station, you are also responsible for dealing with the Service sector of Chefs, Clowns, Mimes, Janitors, and Bartenders.
Human Resources: Where to Start?
At the beginning of each shift, there is a certain amount of job slots for each department. All of the different departments have their functions, and some may be more specialized in their sub-types. Sure, you might have a Security Officer--but you need a Warden to actively watch over the Brig. There are also some caveats to this--you. You can decide what roles the station may or may not be needing desperately for the current situation.
You also run your own department, Service; and need to make sure that your Chefs, Bartender, and Botanists have the resources they need to keep working. And, probably, have to keep your eyes on certain rascals.
Skipper, You Are Needed!
You also have one responsibility that you should be ready for in the event that it happens--being the Acting Captain. Should the Captain be taken out of action, you should be the next person to take it up. While this responsibility is large, you only need to be the Acting Captain so long as the original Commander is out (unless they are truly dead, then good luck).
It's a very wise idea to ask the Captain for the spare ID biscuit, in-case you should need it. This also helps out your Captain by diluting the amount of risky items on their person.
Access, Access, All-Access
The most common thing you will be doing is access changes, and departmental changes. Welcome to bureaucracy, because when it comes to tedium, this will take the cake.
Before changing people into other departments, you should make sure the respective Head of Staff agrees to the change, or else they may become upset. Please keep in mind to not make more Security Officers than needed, as you may be demoted according to Space Law!
How to Change an ID:
- Put the selected person's ID and PDA into the Tablet & ID Painter.
- Select an appropriate trim for the job change if applicable.
- Put your ID into the Plexagon Access Management, and log in. Remove your ID (alt-click to quickly remove). This will set you as the logged person.
- Using the 'Select a template' option will give you choices that will provide access to that job. For the best results, match the trim of the ID to what it's necessary responsibilities are.
- Manually tweak any access requirements as you deem necessary.
- Provide the ID back to the person, and log out! Congratulations, they have gone through NanoTrasen's best Human Resources!
Handing out all access IDs is a highway to a jobban from ALL command roles. Do NOT do it with impunity.
Plexagon HR Core:
Very simple function. It allows you to prioritize, add, and remove jobslots. Please make sure the alert level is at minimum 'Red' before adding more Security slots. Also, one thing is that you cannot add additional Heads of Staff using this, so there shouldn't be five Chief Engineers.
Conclusion
Basically, you are the station's ID person. Just use common sense, and if you don't believe someone will use their new position right, don't give them the access. You may also have to handle demotions, which is rather simple.
