Onboard new employees and manage contracts

Add new employees to your system, manage contracts, and track onboarding progress from hire to first day.

From hiring to first day, Nkapio tracks your entire onboarding workflow. Add employees, upload contracts, and monitor progress with automatic reminders and checklists.

Step 1 — Navigate to the Employees module

From the sidebar, click HR and then Employees to see your full employee roster.

Step 2 — Click “Add new employee” and fill the basic info

Click the Add employee button (or + icon) and fill in the employee’s personal details: first name, last name, email, phone, and date of birth.

Step 3 — Assign position, department, and start date

Select the employee’s Position (e.g., Technician, Manager), Department (e.g., Operations, Sales), and Start date. You can optionally set an end date if it’s a fixed-term contract.

Step 4 — Upload contract and onboarding checklist

Add a contract file (PDF or image) and assign any onboarding tasks (orientation, training, equipment setup). Mark items as complete as the employee progresses through their first week.

Tips

  • Use consistent position names so salary calculations and scheduling are accurate.
  • Save contract PDFs with a standard naming convention (e.g., FirstName_LastName_Contract_2026.pdf) for easy retrieval.
  • Add onboarding tasks for each department so new hires always get the same setup experience.
  • Mark tasks complete in real-time so team leads can see onboarding progress.
