HR & Finance guide

HR clears onboarding and runs payroll; Finance approves and pays it out. Everyone else depends on you being ready. Back-office screens are in English (Bangla is employee-facing).

Who does what

The HR ↔ Finance split

Payroll is deliberately split so no one person both calculates and pays. Know your half:

HR: CalculateHR: Submit for reviewFinance: ApproveFinance: DisburseHR: Email payslips
⚠️

The day-one bottleneck is yours (HR)

Every employee's first login waits on HR onboarding approval before they can do anything. On launch day, staff HR to approve that queue in real time — it is the single thing that unblocks the whole company.

Approving onboarding

New joiners complete a 5-step wizard (password, profile, bank, documents) and submit. They sit as Under Review until you approve — and can't reach the app until you do.

Before launch, agree the hand-offs

HR can approve onboarding (day-one bottleneck) + add/bulk-import people · HR + Finance agree the payroll baton (HR Calculate → Submit, Finance Approve → Disburse, HR Email payslips) · Finance confirms the bank-file format your bank accepts · reporting lines are correct so approvals route to the right managers.
