Everyone in one place

Every member can open the directory: it shows who people are and how to reach them, not their HR record. Tabs split it into All, Out today, Joining and Archived, and search matches a name, an email, a job title or a team.

Each person carries one status, worked out from their record and today's approved leave, so nobody keeps it up to date by hand.

The chart is drawn from each person's manager — nobody maintains it separately. It opens two levels deep, branches collapse, search jumps to a person, and a focused person is a link you can share.

The same lines route approvals, so there is no separate list of approvers to keep in step.

Invite someone by email and they set up their own login. Or add a record without one — for people who never sign in — and invite them later. Owners and admins can also bring in a batch of records in one go from CSV: all of them are created, or none are.

Each record holds the location, department, manager, job title, hire date, probation end and working days that the leave rules read. Promotions and role changes are kept as dated history.

Schedule someone's last day ahead of time and they show as Leaving straight away; the date can be moved or cancelled until it passes. A final-balances report gives payroll what's left on each leave type.

The night after the last day, a closeout entry brings every balance to zero, their access ends, and anyone who reported to them is left without a manager until you assign a new one. The record is archived, not deleted: a rehire picks up the same record with a new start date and their history intact.
