Frequently asked questions

Why maintain an employee asset register separately?+

The master asset register shows assets; this register shows people. HR needs the people view for onboarding, transfers and exit clearance.

Can the employee asset register be kept in Excel?+

Yes. Many teams keep it as a spreadsheet or in HR software. This Word format can be used as a printed register or as a layout for the spreadsheet.

What does outstanding mean in the register?+

An outstanding item is an asset issued to the employee that has not yet been returned. For employees on notice, outstanding items must be cleared before the last working day.
