The document describes the schema used for human resource records in a course. The HR schema tracks information about employees, jobs, departments, locations, and other data. It includes fields like employee ID, email, job code, salary, manager, job title, department, location, and country for each record.

1. Human Resources (HR)
This is the schema that is used in this course. In the Human Resource (HR) records, each employee
has an identification number, email address, job identification code, salary, and manager. Some
employees earn commissions in addition to their salary.
The company also tracks information about jobs within the organization. Each job has an
identification code, job title, and a minimum and maximum salary range for the job. Some
employees have been with the company for a long time and have held different positions within the
company. When an employee resigns, the duration the employee was working for, the job
identification number, and the department are recorded.
The sample company is regionally diverse, so it tracks the locations of its warehouses and
departments. Each employee is assigned to a department, and each department is identified either
by a unique department number or a short name. Each department is associated with one location,
and each location has a full address that includes the street name, postal code, city, state or
province, and the country code.
In places where the departments and warehouses are located, the company records details such as
the country name, currency symbol, currency name, and the region where the country is located
geographically.
