My Team for managers
As a manager, My Team is where you handle the people who report to you: approving their requests, checking their details, and keeping their records current.
It is the same screen your HR admin uses, but you will see less of it. That is by design — you get the parts that concern your team, not the parts that configure the whole company.
If you also administer company settings, read My Team for administrators instead.
What you see, and why
My Team hides what you cannot use rather than greying it out. A tab appears when you can open at least one thing inside it.
This has a consequence worth knowing in advance: a tab can appear and still be nearly empty. Both the Reports and Settings tabs open for anyone who can manage others, but almost everything inside them needs rights that are usually reserved for HR admins. If you open Settings and find a single item, nothing is broken — you are seeing the one thing your rights allow.
If you need more, that is a conversation with whoever manages user rights, not a support issue.
Your dashboard
The Dashboard is the part of My Team you will actually use daily. It answers one question: what is waiting on me?
Four queues feed it:
- New employee requests — profiles created for your team that need your approval
- Data change requests — edits to your people's details awaiting sign-off
- Document approvals — documents uploaded for your review
- Documents for you to sign
The count on the tab is only what you personally can act on. It is not a company-wide backlog, so if it shows three, there are three decisions with your name on them.
Clearing this queue is the single most useful thing you can do in My Team. Requests sitting here block real things — a new joiner cannot be set up, a corrected bank detail cannot reach payroll.
Your team
The Team tab lists the people you manage and opens their individual profiles. Use it to check someone's details, see their placement, or follow up on a record that looks wrong.
What you can change here depends on your rights. Many managers can view profiles and raise a change for approval rather than editing directly — which is the point of the data change queue above.
Reports
Which reports you see depends on one right in particular:
| You have | You get |
|---|---|
| Reports (team) | Demographics, Turnover, Key Dates, Missing Data, Audit Trail |
| Manage others only | Biometrics |
Most managers are given the second and not the first, which is why the Reports tab often holds a single item. If your team's headcount or turnover figures would help you, ask for the team reports right rather than assuming the reports do not exist.
Mel
Mel is KAMI's AI assistant for My Team. It appears with a padlock unless your company has KAMI AI and you have been given the My Team AI Agent right. The padlock means "not enabled for you", not "coming soon".
Settings
Settings is where the company is configured — organisation structure, approval routes, user rights, automations. Almost all of it belongs to HR admins.
For most managers this tab holds only Biometrics. That is expected. The things configured here affect your team, but changing them is an admin task, and a change made in the wrong place affects everyone.
What to do in your first week
- Open the Dashboard and clear the queue. Anything sitting there is blocking
someone.
- Check your team list is right. If someone is missing or should not be there,
that is a placement problem worth raising early — it affects approvals, reports and payroll.
- Look at any profile you are unsure about. Missing details surface as payroll
problems later, and they are much easier to fix now.
