Check what your sign-in can do #
Where Your name, top right » Profile
- Open your company's address in the browser — it looks like yourcompany.tarleaks.com.
- Type the e-mail address your administrator set up for you, then your password.
- You land on the app launcher: a grid of the apps your company uses.
- Click your name, top right.
- Choose Profile.
You should see It says HR Manager. Approvals, compliance and the destructive actions sit with you.
Open the people directory #
Where HR » People
- From the launcher, click the HR tile.
- Click People in the left menu.
- Type part of a name into the search box, or use the filters for department and status.
You should see Everyone in the business is here, with their department, position and status.
Watch out An employee with no linked login will not appear in a manager's My team — the link is what the system recognises people by.
Worth knowing The status chip is live: it reflects whether the person is working today, on leave, or not yet started.
Open one person's whole record #
Where HR » People » a person
- Click any row in the directory.
- Move across the tabs on the record.
You should see One page holds the whole employment story rather than five systems.
See the shape of the business #
Where HR » Departments
- Open Departments in the left menu.
- Read the manager and the headcount on each row.
You should see Departments are what drives a line manager's scope, so the structure here decides who can see whom.
Decide what is waiting on you #
Where HR » Requests
- Open Requests.
- Filter to what is waiting on you.
- Open one, read the chain, then decide with a reason.
You should see Leave, letters and record changes all arrive in the same queue, with their approval chain visible.
Watch out Refusing without a reason is the most common cause of the same request arriving again next week.
See who is joining, and what is outstanding #
Where HR » Onboarding
- Open Onboarding.
- Open a journey to see its task list.
You should see A journey is cloned from a template when it starts, so editing the template never disturbs somebody already halfway through.
See who is leaving, and what must come back #
Where HR » Offboarding
- Open Offboarding.
- Open an in-flight journey.
You should see The last day is a process, not a conversation — and this is the evidence it was followed.
Catch an expiring permit before it expires #
Where HR » Visa tracker
- Open the visa tracker.
- Sort by expiry date.
You should see Passports, visas, Emirates IDs and professional licences are tracked with staged reminders rather than a spreadsheet.
Watch out Renewals take weeks. The ninety-day reminder is the one to act on, not the seven-day one.
Worth knowing An expired permit is a fine and a person who cannot work. The reminders start ninety days out for exactly that reason.
Read the workforce numbers #
Where HR » Analytics
- Open Analytics.
- Choose the period.
You should see The numbers come from the records themselves, so they agree with the directory rather than with last month's export.
Run the performance cycle #
Where HR » Performance
- Open Performance.
- Move through goals, reviews and one-to-ones.
You should see A review cycle is opened once and everybody works inside it, so the chasing is visible rather than personal.
Use cases — the work, step by step
Each one is a sequence somebody actually performs, with the screen behind every step. Every screen here was opened in the product as this role before it was published.
dailyThe morning pass: approvals, joiners, leavers #

Open Requests and decide what is waiting on you. A refusal with a reason is a decision; without one it comes back next week.

The destructive actions — termination, legal hold, subject-access requests — sit with you and nobody else. That is deliberate: they are the ones a company gets asked about later.
