Asset or equipment assignment to employees  

All employees need to be equipped with work tools, various work devices, facilities or other work equipment for which they are responsible and need to perform the work during their employment. In Aptien, you can assign each piece of equipment to employees using assignment features or handover forms. This handles both permanent assignments and short-term assignments of assets. You can use this for:

  • Employee onboarding, where you equip them with work-related assets such as a computer, phone, sim card, office keys, access card, etc.
  • When an employee terminates and leaves (offboarding), you need to know what they have to return
  • During the course of employment, you continuously assign or take away various work equipment and tools

How to set up the assignment and removal of employee equipment

You do the handing over and taking away using actions. Because not everyone can do the handing over and taking back of assets, you need to set up who can do the handing over and taking back of assigned assets. Whoever has the authority to transfer or take back assets will then see an extra button in the system. The setting is done for each asset separately.
