Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about kawader.
How do I assign equipment to a new hire?
From the onboarding checklist, the IT task includes assigning company assets (laptop, phone, access card) from the Assets module. The employee signs a digital receipt, and the asset is linked to their profile until offboarding.
How do I track onboarding progress?
The onboarding dashboard shows the percentage of completed tasks for every new hire. Drill into any employee to see who's responsible for each pending task, set deadlines, and send reminders. HR is notified when an employee is fully onboarded.
What training features does Kawader offer?
The LMS module lets you create courses with videos, documents, and quizzes. Assign courses to employees individually or by role, track completion rates, and issue automatic certificates when a course is passed.
Are certificates issued automatically?
Yes. Once an employee passes a course's final quiz with the minimum score, the system generates a personalised PDF certificate using the template you designed. The certificate is stored in their profile and downloadable anytime.
Can I mark training as mandatory?
Yes. Mark any course as Mandatory for a role or department, with a completion deadline. Employees see a banner reminder, managers receive overdue notifications, and the compliance dashboard tracks who's behind.
How do I assign a course to multiple employees?
Open the course and click Assign. Select multiple employees, an entire department, a role, or a branch. All selected employees receive an email notification and the course appears in their training dashboard.
How do I submit an expense claim?
From Expenses → New Claim, enter the category (travel, meals, supplies), amount, and date. Upload the receipt as a photo or PDF, add notes, and submit. The claim goes to your manager, then finance, for approval and reimbursement.
How are expense reimbursements paid?
Approved expenses can be paid either as a one-off bank transfer or added to the next payroll cycle. Either way, the employee sees the status (approved, paid, paid date) and downloads a payment confirmation from their expense history.
Can I set expense limits per role?
Yes. Set monthly or per-claim caps per role, category, and branch. Claims exceeding the cap automatically need a higher-level approval. Finance gets a real-time view of spend vs budget across the organisation.
How does the asset management module work?
Register every company asset (laptop, phone, vehicle, furniture) with serial number, purchase date, and value. Assign assets to employees, track location and condition, and generate handover/return receipts automatically.
Can I schedule asset maintenance?
Yes. For each asset, define a maintenance schedule (every 6 months, annually). The system sends reminders before the due date and logs every maintenance event with cost, vendor, and notes — building a full lifecycle history.
How are assets returned when an employee leaves?
The offboarding checklist includes an Asset Return step. The system lists every asset assigned to the employee and prompts IT to confirm return condition. Any missing or damaged asset is flagged for finance before the final settlement.
How do I customise approval workflows?
From Settings → Workflows, design custom approval chains per request type (leave, expense, overtime). Use rules like amount thresholds or department-specific paths to route requests automatically to the right approvers.
How do I get notified of pending approvals?
You receive real-time notifications in three places: in-app bell, mobile push, and email. The dashboard shows a Pending Approvals widget so nothing slips through the cracks. Daily digest emails are optional.
Can I delegate approvals when I'm on leave?
Yes. From your profile, set a delegation period and choose another user to receive your approvals. After the period ends, delegation stops automatically and approvals route back to you.
What reports come built-in?
Kawader ships with 40+ built-in reports across modules: headcount, turnover, attendance summary, leave balances, payroll cost, recruitment funnel, training compliance, asset register, and more. Each report supports filters, grouping, and Excel/PDF export.
Can I build my own custom reports?
Yes. The report builder lets you pick any data source (employees, attendance, payroll), choose columns, add filters, group by any field, and save. Share saved reports with specific roles or schedule them by email weekly/monthly.
What does the analytics dashboard show?
The dashboard shows real-time KPIs: total headcount, monthly turnover, attendance rate, payroll cost trend, pending approvals, and training compliance. Drill into any metric to see breakdown by department, branch, or time period.
Can I export raw data for analysis?
Yes. Every list and report can be exported to Excel or CSV. For deeper analysis, the API allows you to pull raw data into BI tools like Power BI, Tableau, or Google Data Studio.
How do roles and permissions work?
Kawader uses role-based access control (RBAC). Define roles (HR Manager, Department Head, Accountant…) and assign granular permissions per module and action (view, create, edit, delete, approve). Each employee can have one or more roles.
