Your first day
When you join, your employer’s HR team adds you to Cadre. This page takes you through the first things you do: open the invitation, sign in, sign your contract and fill in your details.
Who can do this: every member, for themselves.
Accept your invitation
Section titled “Accept your invitation”You get an email called You have been added to your organisation on Cadre. It says which organisation you have joined.
- If you are new to Cadre, look for a second, separate email that asks you to set a password. Set your password.
- Open the first email and select Open Cadre.
- Sign in with the email address the invitation was sent to, and your password.
If you already use Cadre with another employer, you don’t need a new password. Sign in with the login you already have.
When you sign in, Cadre opens your organisation. If you belong to more than one, it asks you to choose one. See Signing in.
Sign your contract
Section titled “Sign your contract”Your employer may send you your contract, or another document, to sign. You get an email for each one. It holds a secure link that is yours alone and works once.
- Open the email and select the link.
- Select Email me a code. Cadre sends a 6-digit code to the same email address.
- Type the code under 6-digit code and select Open the document.
- Read the document. You can select Download PDF to keep a copy.
- Under How do you want to sign?, choose Draw to draw your signature with your finger, or Type my name.
- If you type your name, it must be your name exactly as your employer recorded it. Capital letters and extra spaces don’t matter. A nickname or a different spelling is refused.
- Tick the box to agree, then select Sign.
If you don’t want to sign, select Decline to sign and say why. The person who sent it is told your reason.
Once you have signed in to Cadre, you can also find documents to sign under My documents. See Documents and signing.
Complete your profile
Section titled “Complete your profile”Payroll needs your bank account and your tax, pension and NHF numbers to pay you and file for you. Open My profile and look at Complete your record. It lists what is still missing:
- Bank account
- Tax ID (TIN)
- Pension PIN
- NHF number
- Next of kin
Select Add beside a missing bank account or number to fill it in. Your HR team checks and approves it before payroll uses it. HR records your next of kin, so select How beside it to see what to do. See Your profile.
