Alternative Flow

  1. System Fails to Validate Information - There are instances when the human resource management system fails to validate information, showing an error in the update. The system sends notifications to the HR team and employees, informing them about the issue, and the process returns to the appropriate step for rectification, generating accurate data.
  2. Unauthorized Access Attempt - If an unauthorized person tries to access the system, the software detects the unauthorized access to trigger the security protocols and lock the user account or inform the IT support team. 
  3. System Downtime - The system may counter unexpected downtime issues, notifying the users of an estimated time for resolution. The HR department and employees can use manual processes. The system logs the downtime for later analysis and improvement of system reliability.
