Employees
Create and manage employee records, track employment history and give staff access to their own self-service portal.
📅 This feature launches with Udala v1.0 in January 2027. Join the waitlist for early access.
Creating an employee record
- Go to HR → Employees → New Employee
- Enter personal details: name, email, phone, date of birth
- Enter employment details: start date, job title, department, branch, employment type (Full-time, Part-time, Contract)
- Set salary details: gross salary, currency, pay frequency
- Optionally invite the employee to Udala (sends them an email to set up their login)
Employment types
- Full-time - Permanent employee on payroll
- Part-time - Works reduced hours, proportional pay
- Contract - Fixed-term or project-based, may be excluded from certain leave types
- Intern - Trainee, may have a different pay structure
Employee self-service
When an employee is invited to Udala, they get a Staff-role login where they can:
- View and download their pay slips
- Apply for leave
- Update their personal information
- View their leave balance
They cannot see other employees' records or any financial data.
