Final checks before announcing the system to your team — self-service invites, email config, and the smoke-test runs.

Pre-flight checklist

Before telling the team to log in:

  • All employees added — sanity-check the People > Employees count vs your headcount spreadsheet
  • All positions linked — Organisation > Positions; everyone with an active contract should have a position
  • All tax codes set — Payroll > Pay runs > New pay run > Calculate — if any employee shows tax=0 unexpectedly, they're missing a code
  • Pension setup verified — eligible employees show up under the auto-enrolment queue
  • First pay run finalised — download a payslip, eyeball that net + YTD + employer contribution footer all look right
  • Public holidays correct — bookings around bank holidays skip the holiday day
  • Onboarding template configured — Settings > Onboarding > add the tasks new starters should see (right-to-work check, equipment setup, etc.)
  • Email provider configured — Settings > Email — connect your Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace / Resend so invites + leave-approval notifications actually send

Invite the team

Once the above is green:

  1. People > Employees.
  2. Select all → Bulk action > Send invite.
  3. Each employee receives their magic-link email.
  4. They set a password, log in, and land on My profile.

What employees see (and don't)

Linked employees see only My stuff by default. They can:

  • View their profile
  • Book leave (subject to approval)
  • See and upload personal documents
  • Download payslips
  • Complete onboarding tasks
  • Fill in reviews + feedback during cycles

They can't see other people's data, departments-level reports, or admin surfaces.
