Create your company

The first person from your organization to sign up creates the company and becomes its owner. Everything else is bootstrapped automatically: roles, starter leave types, and the default year-end rule.

The whole flow takes under a minute; the only thing you type is the company name.

Create the company

  1. Sign up with your work email and sign in.
  2. You land on the company setup screen automatically. Until a company exists, the product keeps you here (dashboards stay locked).
  3. Enter your company name and confirm.
  4. You are redirected to the admin dashboard as the company owner.

If you were invited by e-mail instead, do not create a new company. Accept the invitation from the e-mail and you will join your employer's existing company.

What is set up automatically

Creating the company bootstraps a working configuration in the same step:

  • Four roles with permissions: owner (you), admin, manager, and employee.
  • Three starter leave types: Annual Leave (20 days), Sick Leave (unlimited, tracked separately), and Personal Day (3 days).
  • A default year-end rule: full reset, no carry-over. You can change this later under Settings, Policy, Carry Over.
  • Your own people record, so you appear in the People list from day one.

Important: starter policies are not assigned yet

The starter leave types exist, but they are deliberately not assigned to anyone: nobody has a balance until you assign a policy. This prevents wrong balances from appearing before you have decided your real rules.

Assign a policy to a location, department, team, or individual person from the Organization and People views in Settings; the priority order Person over Tag over Team over Department over Location decides which rule wins when several apply.

Recommended first steps

  • Review the starter leave types under Settings, Policy, Leave Types: adjust days per cycle or create your own.
  • Set up locations and holiday calendars under Settings, Location, so holidays never count against allowances.
  • Invite your team, individually or via bulk CSV import.
  • Take the guided admin tour from the avatar menu if you want a walkthrough of the dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rename the company later?
Yes. The company name is editable by the owner and admins in the account settings; nothing else depends on the initial spelling.
Can there be more than one owner or admin?
There is one owner (the creator), and you can grant the admin role to as many people as you need when inviting them or later from the People view.
I created a company by mistake. I was supposed to join my employer.
Ask your admin to send you an invitation to the correct company, and contact support to remove the accidental company.
