What this page is for

This page gives short answers to frequent handbook questions and points you to the full policy pages.

What you should do

Use this page for quick triage, then follow linked pages for full process detail.

Where do I ask about payslips?

Use the payroll support route described in Compensation & Benefits.

How do I book leave?

Use the leave route in Time Off & Holidays, then keep the absence visible in your calendar and Slack.

What if I am sick?

Follow the same-day process in Time Off & Holidays.

Can I buy software myself?

Get approval through the route described in Expenses, then follow the expense submission process there.

What happens at Helixiora Connect?

See Helixiora Connect.

Can I expense AI tools or token usage?

Usually yes, if the usage is reasonable and helps you do better work. If you need budget, access, or you are unsure about cost, discuss it with the Technology lead (Walter) first as described in AI & Experimentation.

Which tools are mandatory on day one?

See Your First Day and Tools & Support.

Who owns or approves it

The handbook owners maintain this page and route updates as needed.

Where to go in the tool stack

Follow the linked page for each question. In practice, many answers today route to the People lead, the Technology lead, Deel, or your contract-specific payroll setup rather than a single company portal.

What happens if something goes wrong

If the FAQ answer is incomplete, ask in the owner channel and request the page update so the same issue is easier for the next person.
