What Are Keyrings and How Do They Work?

The main function of the Keyring feature is to provide you with a running checklist of items that have been given to, or revoked from, an employee during the course of their employment or upon termination of their employment.

As an employer you have the ability to add items of responsibility to the PayrollHero profiles of your employees. These items are called Keyrings and can be any item or document that you have entrusted to an employe as part of their job.

Some examples of items to track on the Keyrings are:

  • Company email accounts
  • Key holder agreements
  • Locker usage access
  • Uniform
  • Company car keys
  • Software license
  • Mobile Phone
