People

Everybody who works here and the facts about them: who they report to, where they work, what they are paid, and the four occasions those facts are for: starting, being away, being reviewed and leaving.

Getting started

These are the steps in the order somebody would do them. The same list is in the tool: press F1, or the control reading "How this works" at the top of the window.

1. Press New person for each person who works here

Their name, their job, who they report to and their first day. Pay goes on the same record and only the people granted it can see it. Their Keyway sign-in is linked to the record, never copied into it.

2. Give every starter a checklist

Each task has a named owner and a day counted from the first day. Equipment, licences, policies, training and the first shift each open the tool that keeps them; nothing here writes into another tool.

3. Read leave and hold reviews here

Leave is Time Clock's, read here with each person's balance and who is away. A review is on a form you write, with the reviewer's words, the person's own words and what you agreed.

4. Give every leaver a checklist too

Get the equipment back, release the licences, settle what is owed, and end their Keyway access on the day. Keyway itself ends the access and this records the day it did. Their record and history stay.

The screens, and what to do first on each

Each of these opens with nothing on it on a new install. What the tool says on that screen is what this section says, because it is the same sentence.

Nobody is on the register yet

A person added here counts from their first day. Somebody who has left stays readable in their own section and stops counting on their last day.

First thing to do: Add the first person.

No starter or leaver has a checklist

A checklist is the list of things to do for somebody starting or leaving, each owned by a named person with a day. It is opened from the person's record.

First thing to do: Open a person and start their checklist.

Nobody is away in the coming weeks

A day away appears here once it is approved in Keyway Time Clock, which is where it is asked for.

First thing to do: Answer leave requests in Time Clock.

No review is scheduled

A review is held on a form the business writes, with the reviewer's words, the person's own words and what was agreed. Everything written in one needs the restricted grant to read.

First thing to do: Open a person and schedule their review.

Your record is not linked yet

Your details, your leave, your reviews and the tasks asked of you are drawn here, and nobody has linked your Keyway sign-in to a record on the register yet.

First thing to do: Ask whoever keeps the register to link your sign-in.
