Step 3: Add billing details, Company and Organization setup
The first step to start using Kenjo is adding the most basic information such as the Company, Offices, Departments, and Calendars.
Step 4: Employee Setup
This is the most important step to set up your account properly. You can manually add your employees to Kenjo or import your employee data, using our import template. Please make sure you understand what information about your employees you would like to have on Kenjo. Kenjo offers different Profiles that need to be assigned to everyone in your organization. These profiles will determine the level of Permissions or access rights the employees will have to use all the features Kenjo offers. This ensures that your employees only view, edit and delete the sections that are intended for them. For your company the Profiles & Permissions have been pre-set, so you don't have to worry about whom to give what rights and you won't be able to create custom profiles.
Step 5: Attendance Setup
The next step is to understand the time tracking methods and how Shift and Rest Rules work within the Attendance module. When a shift or a rest Rule is violated, you as an admin will see conflicts, which will help you facilitate your HR admin work. Make sure to also get familiar with how your employees enable geo-location tracking and how you set up salary surcharges. Last but not least you will need to understand the overtime calculations that form the basis for chosen compensations.
- Import Attendance Data
- See shift rules
- See rest rules
- See attendance tracking methods
- Add geolocation
- Salary surcharges for DSP companies
- Enable and calculate Overtime compensation / Localized Articles?
Q: What if an employee is not seeing how to track time in Kenjo? R: When you create a new employee, you have to manually enable attendance tracking. Go to the employee's profile and on the right-hand side of the screen, under Actions, click on ENABLE ATTENDANCE TRACKING. Send this article to your employee to make them understand how to track their time. |
Step 6: Time Off Requests and Time Off Policies
Kenjo offers several time off types for your company. Within Kenjo we identify two ways of absences: Time-off types and Time off policies. You can have many time-off policies for the same time-off type. A time off policy sets the rules for a time off type. You will have already created time off types with already pre-set policy rules for your organization, nevertheless it's important that you understand the concept of it before assigning them to your employees.
Watch our explainer video to see how your employees submit time off requests with their smartphone and how you as an admin can handle requests with your mobile device too.
In case you need to import time off data, have one of our Trainings first and after please reach out directly to your Support Manager.
Step 7: Work with Shiftplan
In case you work with Shift plan, you'll need to get familiar with how you set it up and what data you need to define for your shift plan employees.
- Set up Shiftplan Settings
- Create Roles for Shiftplan
- Create Working Area for Shiftplan
- Activate Shiftplan for Employees
- Create an unpublished shift
- Publish shifts
- Create a shift template
