Looking for a package of software

Post by vimediadesigns »

Hi, im starting a game/media company and im looking for a package of php software that allows me to track who my employees are, what projects they are working on, what projects they did work on, there current working status (not performance) more like if there taking a leave of absence or vacation etc. also need to be able to add projects and list which employees are currently working on that project, my employees will get paid as if they were freelance and i need to track how much they have been paid total. I need to have details to enter in for each employee, full name, address, gender, age, etc etc. my employees also bee to be able to log in and sign up for projects, update project details for the week what they have done, how far along they are in there part,

I dont have a big budget so a package that was free would be great and i dont have hole lot of time to set this up, i need to be able to start adding my employees and projects with in 2 or 3 hours of installing......i tried to use a CMS package but there just to time consuming, im a full time student and also work full time i cant spend weeks and weeks on getting a cms package to work correctly.

Any help as to leading me in the right direction of finding a package like this would be wonderful. Thanks

I did a search for project management and came up with a nice package called dotprojekt.net, php package, you would figure it was based on the .net framework, but its not...anyway, if i cant find a employee compensation/benefit package combined with a project management package i will probably go with dotprojekt, its compact and straight to the point, the campbase just seem to spread out, if it had the employee comp added in i would take it in a heart beat, its very nice and visually appealing. really all i need out of the employee comp package is being able to track company income of a single product, and be able to figure out who gets paid what and release the amount that person is getting to only that person, example: bob is getting 500 for working and helping finish project ABC, the system would send a message to bob saying bob you will recieve 500 usd in your paypal account with in 24 hour for wokring on and helping finish project ABC, kinda like a [profit sharing/payroll app....most the project my company will putting out is free anyway, but we have projects being planned to sell when there done, and the people who work on them will be paid, say theres 6 people and the project brings in 70 dollars for the month, we split that 7 ways, the 6 employees and then the company gets a profit from it also, so thats why its more like freelance then an actual payroll. Theres a hole system of how things work that i dont feel like getting into at the moment.


but any help in pointing me to the direction of finding a package like this would be of great help. Thanks
