Organisation details and branding
Settings › Organisation holds your organisation’s name, its registered address, its branding, and how documents it sends for signature look.
Who can change these details: Owner, HR admin.
The owner, HR admins, payroll admins and payroll approvers can read this page. Only the owner and HR admins can change it.
Details
Section titled “Details”Details shows the organisation’s Name, its Web address name (the part of Cadre’s links that names your organisation), its Type (employer, agency or both) and Your role. The web address name and type are set when Cadre creates the organisation and can’t be changed here.
Rename the organisation
Section titled “Rename the organisation”- Under Rename, type the new name in Organisation name.
- Select Save name.
Registered address
Section titled “Registered address”The registered office address, as on your certificate of incorporation. Cadre prints it on contracts and letters the organisation issues as the legal employer. A document that uses the address can’t be sent while it is empty, so add it before you send contracts.
Type it in Address, or start typing in Find the address and choose one of the suggestions to fill it in, a line per part. Check it, then select Save address.
Branding
Section titled “Branding”Your logo and accent colour appear on the payslips this organisation issues as the legal employer, on the emails Cadre sends your people, and in the side menu in place of the organisation’s mark.
Add a logo
Section titled “Add a logo”- Under Branding, select Upload logo (or Replace logo if there is one already).
- Choose the file.
The logo must be:
- a PNG or JPEG image (SVG can’t be used);
- no larger than 256 KB;
- between 32 and 2,000 pixels on each side.
To take it off, select Remove logo. Payslips then carry the organisation’s name only.
Choose an accent colour
Section titled “Choose an accent colour”- Type the colour in Accent colour as six hexadecimal digits, for example
#1F4E79. A small Payslip sample shows it, with its contrast. - Select Save colour.
To go back to no accent colour, select Clear.
Documents
Section titled “Documents”The Documents section sets how documents your organisation sends for signature look and behave:
- Letterhead: whether to print one, with or without your logo, an Address block (which Find the address can fill in from a suggestion), a Footer line, and rules drawn in your accent colour. The letterhead goes on documents written from a template. Uploaded PDFs are signed exactly as uploaded.
- Default contract template: the contract the starter “New joiner” workflow sends for signature.
- Remind signers every (days): how often Cadre reminds people who haven’t signed yet. 0 turns reminders off.
Select Save document settings when you have finished. See Document templates and Sending for signature.
Why Cadre works this way
Section titled “Why Cadre works this way”- The accent colour must be dark. Payslips print white text on it, so it must have a contrast of at least 4.5:1 against white. If it is too light, Cadre says so and asks for a darker shade.
- Cadre’s own colours don’t change. Your colour is used on payslips, in emails and as a thin strip in the menu, never on buttons or text in Cadre. That way every screen stays readable in both themes.
- SVG logos are refused because an SVG file can carry code. Cadre keeps only the image itself from the file you upload.
- A payslip carries the legal employer’s brand. For an agency, a client it pays as the legal employer can have its own branding. See Clients and worker groups.
