People
Every new starter ready before their first day.
Set someone's position, manager, start date and pay before they join, then send the invitation. Their account links itself when they accept.

People
The people list at a fictional company, Nkhata Group.
Records
An employee and an account are two different things.
Most tools make you invite someone before you can record anything about them. Luwawa keeps the two apart, so the week before someone starts has somewhere to live.
Compensation and banking sit on the same record, visible to owners, HR admins and the person themselves.
Departments and roles
Each department, its roles, and who holds them.
Departments list the positions in them and the people in each position, so an open seat is easy to see.
The manager on each record routes that person's approvals. Someone with no manager routes to HR, because a managing director still needs leave approved.
Positions and roles
A written role, and a record that it was read.
Each position can carry a definition: what the role is for and how it is done. Publish a new version and everyone who holds the role is asked to accept it.
Anyone who has not accepted is listed, ready to chase.
Policies and the handbook
Your role and your policies, in one handbook.
Your role is the document about you. Policies are the documents about everyone. Both live in each person's handbook, and accepting one records that you did.
When a policy changes, it comes back to the top marked as changed.
Not yet
What People does not do today.
- No time and attendance clocking, and no shift rostering.
- No reporting-line org chart. Departments show the roles in each and who holds them.
- No spreadsheet import. People are added one record at a time.
