The Asset Register feature allows you to create a list of assets owned by your organization. With the ability to specify the code, the category it falls under, the purchase amount, and the name of the item owner. You can also use this feature to edit the asset details, update the category information, re-assign an item, and dispose of a piece of equipment if needed.

You can use Employment Hero's Onboarding Checklist functionality to assign and re-allocate your company's assets when an employee joins or takes time off from your organization.
