Completing your onboarding checklist
When you join a company on KAMI, your onboarding checklist walks you through everything you need before your first payday: your role, pay and schedule, your bank details and government IDs, your emergency contact, and the company's policies. This article explains each step, what to do if something is wrong, and how to finish.
Where: select Continue on the Complete your onboarding bar at the bottom of any page
You need: nothing. The checklist is set up by your HR team, and you only see it once your account is activated.
Before You Start
- Every step is required. You can do them in any order, and come back later. Progress is saved as you go.
- The bar stays until you finish. It can't be dismissed, but it doesn't stop you using KAMI.
- Have your bank details, government ID numbers and a photo of a valid ID to hand. Those steps go faster.
If you see No onboarding assigned, your company hasn't set up a checklist for your role. Ask HR if you think that's a mistake.
How to complete your onboarding
- Select Continue on the Complete your onboarding bar.
- Read the Welcome step and select Let's get started.
- Work down Your onboarding checklist on the left. Select any step to open it.
- Read each step. If it's right, select its button, such as Yes, I understand or Yes, this is correct. The step is marked Done.
- If something is wrong, select Request a change, enter the correct details and select Submit change request. The step shows Awaiting approval.
- When every other step is done or awaiting approval, open Finish onboarding and select Finish onboarding.
KAMI takes you to your dashboard and the bar disappears.
The steps
Your company chooses which of these you see.
Get to know your role
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| Employment details | Check your start date, probation end, position, employment type, department, branch, subsidiary, employee ID and manager. Tell HR before confirming if anything is wrong |
| Your wage | Read your basic wage, payment method and payroll batch. These are set by HR, for your information |
| Attendance policy | Read your standard working schedule and the check-in rules. Missed check-ins can reduce your pay |
| Meet your team | See your manager and the teammates in your department |
Complete your records
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| Bank & payout details | Confirm the bank, account name, account number and payment method HR entered, or request a change |
| Government IDs | Confirm your statutory registration numbers, or request a change |
| Upload a valid ID | Upload a clear photo of one government ID, front and back, as PNG, JPG or PDF. Only shown if there's no ID on file |
| Emergency contact | Confirm the name, relationship and phone number, or request a change |
Sign off & get started
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| Policies & code of conduct | Read the policies and any attached files. Type your full name, tick the box and select Agree & sign |
| Orientation training | Select Open in LMS to take the course in a new tab, then come back and select Mark as complete |
| KAMI User Guide | Open the guide and video, then select Mark as complete |
| Finish onboarding | Wraps up your onboarding once everything else is done |
Your company may add its own steps too. Read them and select Got it.
What Happens Next
- Change requests go to HR for approval. Your profile only changes once they approve. Until then, your pay goes to the bank account already on file.
- If HR declines a change, the step opens again so you can correct it and resubmit.
- Your typed name is your electronic signature on the policies. The time you signed is recorded.
- When you finish, everything you confirmed and signed is saved to your employee record, and HR is told.
Tips
- Check your bank details carefully. It's the one step where a mistake delays your pay.
- Read the attendance step properly. It tells you how to check in, and missing check-ins can cost you pay.
- Request a change rather than ignoring a mistake. Confirming wrong details puts them on your record as checked.
- Do the training in one sitting if you can, so you don't forget to come back and mark it complete.
Troubleshooting / FAQ
Q: It says I don't have an approver yet. Your change request or ID upload has nobody to go to. Select Skip for now: the step shows Waiting for HR and you can still finish onboarding. Ask HR to set your approver, then come back to it.
Q: I can't select Finish onboarding. A step is still To do. The Finish onboarding step lists what's left.
Q: My details are wrong but I already confirmed them. Open the step again. It says Step completed — you can still request changes below. Select Request a change.
Q: I've finished but HR wants me to do it again. HR can relaunch your onboarding from your profile. The bar then comes back.
Q: Where can HR see how far I've got? On your profile's Lifecycle tab, which shows Onboarding in progress with your steps done, or Onboarding completed.
