Find something

Everything the Clubhouse holds, grouped the way you'd look for it. Search above if you already know what you want.

HR FAQ

Can't find it? Ask HR →

The questions we get most. If you ask something that isn't here, we'll add it.

Your processes

How the work actually gets done, and who is accountable for each part of it. Search everything — if a step went wrong and you need to know who to ask, it will be in here even when the process belongs to somebody else.

Who's who

The people, not the org chart

Faces first. If you passed someone on a jobsite this morning and didn't catch their name, this is the page for that.

My work log

Record each job as you finish it, then print the schedule for your pay period and sign it off with your manager.

Org chart

Who reports to whom

The other half of Who's who. That page is faces; this one is the shape of the company.

Go Forward Plan

Four pillars, and what each one is actually asking for. This is the plan the whole company is working to.

Our story

Since 1975

The Yingst story can be told in two parts. Over 50 years ago Richard Yingst began Yingst Homes and managed to steward it through housing bubbles, market collapses and several recessions. Through it all, Yingst Homes has leaned on our stellar reputation for craftsmanship and quality-built homes.

But when one chapter ends, another can begin and in 2025 Yingst Homes was acquired by Mike, Thom and Alex. While the name was tweaked to Yingst Building Group to reflect our umbrella of services (new home construction, On-Your-Land, remodeling, commercial), we honor Richard's legacy and proudly carry it forward under the Yingst banner. Some things will never change; we take pride in the quality of the homes we build and we earn our customer's trust each and every day. On behalf of Mike, Thom and Alex we look forward to writing the chapter of the next 50 years of this great company.

Half a century of housing cycles. Worth five minutes in your first week — most of what feels unprecedented has a precedent here.

And through all of it…
9 U.S. Presidents have taken office since Yingst began.
And we're still building.

Holiday schedule

Paid company holidays. When one falls on a weekend the observed day is what's listed.

Company news

 

Add employee

Creates a personnel record
Enter the employee's name.
This is how they sign in — it has to match the account they'll use.
Enter a valid email address.
Office
Ext.
Cell
All three show on their Who's who card to every signed-in employee. An extension needs an office number to extend. A cell is often personal — put one here only if they have agreed to it being in the directory.
Check the numbers — an extension is digits only, and a phone number needs at least 10.
A category, not a job title — it drives what they see here, which forms they're asked to sign, and which bonus program applies. Several titles can share one position.
Choose a position.
Which part of the business they work in. It does not change what they can do here — the position alone decides that — but it decides which version of a document reaches them when a position covers more than one division.
Required by the database. Options come from the classes already in use.
Choose a staff class.
Corporate staff have no region. Everyone else needs one.
Choose a region for regional staff.
Their first day. Everything counts from here — the day number on their homepage, and the reminder that tells you a new hire has been on the onboarding build for more than 90 days. A record with no start date never becomes overdue, so it gets flagged on this page instead.
Their official job title — what goes on a business card. Free text, so it can be anything. Shown on the Who's who card with the position underneath it.
Helps a new hire place someone. Keep it short and human.
Number
State
Expires
Visible to HR and executives only — not to managers, and not to the employee. A licence number is government identification, so it is deliberately kept out of every other screen. The expiry date is what drives the warning list on Documents & forms.
Check the expiry date.
Their direct manager. This is what lets a manager see this person's documents — offer letters, reviews, acknowledgements. It does not grant anything else.
none
Square photos look best — the card crops to a square. Uploaded when you save.
On by default. Turn it off for placeholder records or anyone who would rather not have a card — it does not affect their access.
New records start as pending. That now becomes active by itself the first time the person signs in — their sign-in account is linked to this record at that moment. It does not create their sign-in account, which still has to exist before they can sign in at all. Somebody who will never use these apps can be set to active straight away — it grants nothing on its own, because access is matched on a linked sign-in account. Only inactive (they've left) removes them from Who's who.
This is the switch. Ticked, their homepage drops the onboarding build and becomes the returning-staff view. Untick it to put somebody back on the build — a rehire, a transfer into a new position, or anyone switched over by mistake. Passing 90 days does not do this on its own; it only puts them on the reminder list at the top of this page.

Add an item

One row per physical object
Sets the default replacement interval. Add a new kind under Manage types.
Choose a type.
What you would write on the sticker or the key tag. For six copies of the same key, number them — six rows, not one row with a quantity, so you can say which copy is missing.
Theirs, not ours. Entering the same serial twice is refused by the database, so a laptop cannot end up in the list under two spellings.
Not the date it was handed to someone. This is what ages — it is the whole basis of the replacement list, and a second-hand machine given to a new hire is still an old machine.
Months. Leave blank to use the type’s interval — only set this for an item that is an exception.
Anything that stays true about the object itself. A note about one particular hand-out (“issued without a charger”) belongs on the assignment instead.

Hand this out

Choose someone.
Defaults to today. Back-date it if you are recording something that already happened.
About this hand-out specifically. Free text — write whatever you would have written in the margin.

Kinds of thing

Yours to change — no developer needed

A blank replacement interval means this kind of thing is never flagged as old — right for a fob or a key, wrong for a laptop. Turning a type off hides it from the Add item list; anything already recorded under it stays exactly where it is.

Preview mode — not signed in. Names and progress are placeholders, and nothing you change is saved.
Viewing as Read only Layout, sections and permissions-by-position are accurate. Anything the database filters is still being read with your account, so this does not prove what they can and cannot see — use a real test login for that. Links that open a new tab drop back to your own view.
