How do I keep track of all our employees' work permits and expiry dates?

Reviewed by the Settio team · Updated

Keep every permit holder in one register with permit type, expiry, salary terms and the next action, and get reminders well before each date. A spreadsheet works for a handful of people; beyond that, dates and salary changes slip.

In detail

  • Track permit and passport expiry separately.
  • Record the permit's salary terms and check payroll against them.
  • Note family members' permits, which often expire together.

How Settio helps

Settio's portfolio shows everyone on a permit, what expires when and who arrives next, with reminders and monthly salary checks.
