People & HR, without the chasing.

1 · What it runs

The processes in this kit.

Leave requests that staff submit and their manager approves, with each person's balance per year counted in exact working days; onboarding with a checklist per new hire; offboarding with a checklist of equipment, accounts and handover - accounts and equipment become requests to IT, never IT actions.

Leave requests

Staff ask for leave; their manager approves; each person's balance per year and leave type in exact working days of their own calendar (part-time patterns, their country's week and public holidays).

Records: leave requests, leave allowances, public holidays, work patterns

Onboarding

A checklist per new hire from your template, with due dates; accounts and equipment as requests to IT.

Records: new hires, onboarding checklist, onboarding tasks

Offboarding

A checklist per leaver: handover, equipment to collect, accounts as requests to IT - never IT actions.

Records: leavers, offboarding checklist, offboarding tasks

Real requests, and the card each one produces.

Markus Vogel from Logistics is leaving, his last day is 18 December. Jonas Berg is his manager.
Kibo
I will add Markus Vogel to the leavers and make his tasks from the checklist, due from the last day. Accounts and equipment become requests to IT; I never disable an account myself.

The handover with Markus is agreed, tick it off.
Kibo
I will mark the task "Agree the handover of their work" as done. Reassigning his open work is a separate step and needs your yes.
