What this page is for
An employee is a person who works for the business: their job, their branch and the numbers the authorities need. An employee is not the same as a user. A user is a sign-in to Tulindo; an employee is a person on the staff register. Someone can be both, and the two can be linked, but many kitchen and floor staff never sign in at all.
The columns:
- Staff number: the business's own number for the person.
- Name: first, middle and last names.
- Job title: what they do, such as Head cook.
- Branch: where they work from. A manager whose role covers only some branches sees only the people of those branches.
- Type: Permanent, Fixed term, Casual or Intern.
- Start date: the first day of this employment.
- Status: Employed, or Left with the last day for someone who has gone.
Everyone whose role can view people sees this page. Their identity numbers, emergency contact and pay details are shown only to roles that can manage people.
How to…
How to find a person
Type in the search box to match a name or a staff number. Use Status to show only current staff or only former employees, and Branch where the business has more than one.
How to see contracts about to end
Choose Contract ends within 30 days under Contract. The list then shows current staff whose latest contract document ends in the next 30 days. Nothing is sent to anyone: the filter is how you notice.
How to add a person
Press New employee. See New employee.
Worked examples
Restaurant with casual weekend staff
Harambee Grill in Westlands keeps eight permanent cooks and twelve casual waiters. Filtering by Casual shows the weekend team in one list, each with their start date.
Renewing fixed-term contracts
At the start of each month the manager of a Nakuru supermarket filters Contract ends within 30 days, sees two cashiers whose contracts end soon, and uploads their renewed contracts before the old ones run out.
