How to View an Employee's Profile

Go to People > Staff and click the employee. You see staff in the groups you belong to, and the tabs you see depend on your role and the employee's plan.

Every employee on the platform has a profile with their personal details, job, pay, leave and records. Open it from your staff list. Employees who are still onboarding are listed under People > Onboarding instead.

  1. Open your staff list. Go to People > Staff. The list shows Active and Offboarding staff by default. To include past employees, add Inactive in the Status filter.

  2. Find the employee. Search by name, or filter by Group, Hiring manager, country or Status. The list shows each employee's Status, country, Start Date, Group and who they're Managed by.

  3. Open the profile. Click the employee's row. The profile opens on the Profile tab, or on the Job tab for Finance users.

Which employees you can see

You see employees in the groups you belong to, plus any employee who isn't in a group. This applies to every role, Account Owner included. If an employee is missing from your list, ask an Account Owner to add you to that employee's group.

The profile tabs

  • Profile: personal details, contact details and emergency contact.

  • Job: employment information, role information and the employee's direct manager.

  • Costs: compensation, paid leave, benefits, pricing plan and the cost of employment.

  • Leave: leave balances and requests.

  • Timesheets: the employee's timesheets and their approval status.

  • Documents: HR documents, general documents and right to work documents.

  • HR notes and Incident reports: notes and reports your team has logged about the employee.

  • Activity logs: who changed what on the profile, and when.

  • Tax & benefits and Bank info: only for direct employees on the free Borderless HR plan.

Who sees which tab

  • Account Owner and Hiring Manager users see Profile, Job, Costs, Leave, Timesheets, Documents, HR notes, Incident reports and Activity logs.

  • Finance users see only Job and Costs.

  • Users with HR permissions also see Tax & benefits and Bank info, but only for direct employees on Borderless HR. These tabs stay hidden for EOR employees, because Outstaffer is their employer.

  • Accounts users don't have the People menu.

Good to know

  • The panel on the right of every tab shows the employee's Outstaffer ID, plan type, start date, who they're Managed by, their Group and their HR manager.

  • If a change is booked for a future date, a View scheduled changes link appears at the top of the profile.

  • Some details stay empty until the employee finishes onboarding.
