People records

A "person" in Tribe is an employee record — name, role, contact details, department, compensation, performance, training. Each person has their own profile page.

Add an employee

Tribe → People → + Add employee:

Personal — name, email, phone, address
Employment — start date, employment type (permanent/contract/intern), FTE %, department, position
Reporting line — line manager (picks from existing people)
Compensation (admin only) — salary, band, benefits
Right to work — visa status, document references

Most fields are optional after the core ones (name + start date + position).

Linking an employee to a Sageon login

Employees ≠ Sageon users by default. To give someone in-product access:

Open their employee page → Invite to Sageon button
Pick the role they should have
They receive an invite link

The HR employee record and the Sageon user are linked, so timesheet entries, project bookings and HR data stay joined up.

Employee profile tabs

Overview — personal + employment summary
Skills — competency map
Leave — balances + history
Training — assigned + completed modules
Compensation — salary history, benefits (admin only)
Performance — appraisals, objectives
Documents — contracts, certifications, ID
Audit log — every change to this record

Tips

Set the reporting line. Org chart and leave-approval workflows depend on it.
Use FTE %, not absolute hours. 1 FTE = your standard working week.
Mark leavers as inactive, don't delete. Historical records (timesheets, project bookings) need the person to remain.
