Welcome to People by Wagepoint, which helps organize your workplace. Note that your employer may use People by Wagepoint just for one or two features but we describe all of them here, so pick and choose as befits your company’s use.
Time off, holiday, and sick time
People by Wagepoint manages balances and requests for all kinds of time off, from holidays and vacation, to sick time and parental leave. You can view your balances and history under Time Off, and when you need to take time off, make the request in People by Wagepoint where it will be sent automatically to your manager for approval. Once approved (or denied), you’ll get an email notification. You can cancel or modify your requests as well and, depending on the changes, your manager will be notified.
There’s also a company calendar which lists your coworkers’ time away from work, along with any company holidays or events where your offices may be closed. If your company uses Google or Microsoft for email and calendar management, you can subscribe to Kin’s calendar so all those events sync up to your work calendar.
