People
People is where you keep the record of everyone who works for your organisation: who they are, what job they do, who they report to, and how they sign in to Cadre.
Who can open People: Owner, HR admin, Payroll admin, Payroll approver, Manager.
A line manager sees only their own team here. Owners, HR admins and the payroll roles see everyone. Only owners and HR admins add people, change their employment or end it.
A person and their engagement
Section titled “A person and their engagement”Cadre keeps two things apart:
- The person: their name, date of birth, contact details and identity numbers.
- Their engagement: the working relationship between that person and your organisation, with a start date, a job title, a contract type, a manager and, when it finishes, an end date.
When someone leaves, their engagement ends but their record stays, marked Ended. Nothing is deleted.
Legal employer, payroll operator and worksite
Section titled “Legal employer, payroll operator and worksite”Every engagement records three separate things. On a person’s profile they are shown as:
| On screen | What it means | The glossary term |
|---|---|---|
| Legal employer | The organisation that employs the person in law. | Legal employer |
| Runs payroll | The organisation that runs the person’s payroll. | Payroll operator |
| Works at | Where the person actually works. | Worksite |
For an employer that hires its own staff, all three are the same organisation, and you rarely need to think about them.
For an agency they can differ. A worker placed at a client may be employed by the agency, paid through the agency’s payroll, and work at the client’s premises. Each client is set up with a service model that decides which organisation fills each part. See How agencies work.
Finding someone
Section titled “Finding someone”The directory has three views: Current, Joining (people whose start date is still to come) and Ended. Search by name, staff number, email or job title, and filter by department. An agency can also filter by worksite.
