Common questions

How do I add an employee in TracefyHR?

Click Add Employee on the People page and fill in their name, email, job title, salary and start date. It takes about a minute, and the new employee gets a welcome email with their own login.

Can I import employees from Excel?

Yes. On the Bulk Import tab you download the template, fill it in and upload it, and TracefyHR checks the file before anyone is added. The import runs from a manager account.

What happens when I archive an employee?

They move to the Archived tab and their record stays. Their leave history and documents are kept, so nothing is lost.

Can employees update their own details?

Yes, their personal details. Employees fill in things like their address and emergency contact from their own portal, so HR doesn't have to type everything.
