People · always included

One record for every person, across every company in the group.

The employee record, organisation structure and org chart, the employee portal, approvals, HR help, letters and leavers. People is always included, and every other module builds on it.

The employee record

One record per person across every company in the organisation: personal details, job and position, reporting line, pay, time off, performance, documents, benefits and activity history. Each fact has one owner, so there is no second copy to keep in step. Fields supplied by a connected HRIS are read-only in andteam and corrected at the source.

Job changes are dated actions: Promote, Transfer, Re-grade, Change terms and Change pay. Each shows the old value beside the new, names the knock-ons (“3 reports also move”), and can carry a pay change and a letter. Every change is on the person’s activity history, with who made it and when.

How your business is organised

Organisation and Company are always there. Add one level above Company, such as Territory, and up to three below it, such as Business unit and Department. People belong to a level through their position or their record, so there are no membership lists to maintain. The same structure drives goal cascading, who administers what, HR Partner coverage and reporting.

Position management is optional. With it on, positions stand on their own and reporting runs position to position, vacancies included. The org chart shows people and reporting lines; managers also see the vacancies in their own team.

The employee portal

Employees sign in at your organisation’s own andteam address. Home leads with one moment at a time, such as a first day, an increase or payday, and lists tasks one line each. Quiet days are enforced by the server: no celebration for anyone on bereavement leave or under notice. The portal is built for phones first, and the concierge sits beside every page.

Approvals, letters and HR help

Every action that needs approval has one chain, set on one Approvals page, and approvers decide where they already work: the portal or the concierge. Letters come from your own templates, per company, with each company’s letterhead and signing authorities. Questions the concierge cannot close become help cases, with routing, owners, response deadlines and saved replies; confidential topics go to a confidential group, never to the reporting line.

Leavers

A termination records the last day and a reason from your own list, each mapped to a UIF reason code. On the last day access ends, approvals hand over, reports move to the manager above, and leave booked after the last day is reversed. A certificate of service (BCEA section 42), a prefilled UI-19 and the last-day leave balance for final pay come from the record.
