Guide for the employee

What this achieves

Most of Humavera is for the people who administer it, and only a small part of it is yours. This is a signpost to that part: what you can do for yourself, and where each thing lives.

Where you land

Your dashboard is what you see when you sign in — what is waiting for you and what is coming up. Find your place in the organization shows your manager, your peers, and anyone reporting to you.

Time off

Request leave against your balance, and edit or cancel a request while it is still pending. Your balance is on the same screen, so you can see what you have before you ask for it.

Leave feeds pay, so a request left unsubmitted until after a payroll cut-off is a request that affects a later payslip than you expected.

Time and shifts

Where your company tracks attendance, you check in and out, and request a correction when a punch is wrong or missing rather than letting it stand.

If you work shifts, you can set your availability and swap or give away a shift, which goes to your manager to approve.

Your pay

View your payslips for each period once its run is finalised. Where you earn variable pay, read your rewards shows what has been awarded and why.

A payslip is a fixed record of a period that has closed. If something on it looks wrong, raise it — it is corrected in a later payment rather than by editing what you were sent.

Reviews and feedback

In a review round you complete your self review. It cannot be edited once submitted, so write it in one sitting when you are ready rather than saving a first draft to fix later.

Between rounds: take part in your 1:1, respond to a feedback request, and request feedback from somebody yourself. In a 360 round you may be asked to nominate your peer reviewers and to respond to a review about you.

You see your manager’s rating when the cycle is finalised and results are released, not before.

Learning

Take a course, sit an assessment, and find recommended learning suggested from your role and your gaps. Recommendations are suggestions to consider, not assignments — anything mandatory is assigned to you and says so.

Where an assessment is assigned to you, assessing a skill is how your proficiency gets recorded, and you can endorse a colleague’s skill when you have seen them use it.

Your career

Explore your career options to see where your role can lead, and check your readiness against a role you are aiming at — it lists what is actually missing rather than giving you a verdict.

Submit your career aspirations so your manager knows what you want, and find and apply for an internal opportunity when one fits. Applying does not tell your current manager; track your applications shows you where each one stands.

Check the opportunity type before you apply. A gig is work alongside your job, a secondment is a temporary move with a return date, and a full role means leaving your current one.

If something formal happens

Where an action is served on you, respond to it rather than letting the window pass. The page sets out what your response does and what happens after it.

Asking questions

Ask Vera a question in plain language. Vera answers from what you are allowed to see and nothing else, so the answers you get are bounded by your own access.

What happens next

Nothing here needs setting up by you. If something described above is missing from your workspace, your company either has not enabled that part of Humavera or has not given your role access to it — your HR team is the route to both.
