Quick answer

Open Helpdesk and click New ticket. Pick the right category, write a clear title, and describe what happened, when, and what you expected versus what you got. Attach screenshots and set the correct priority. A clear ticket in the right queue is the fastest to solve.

How do I write a clear ticket?

  1. Pick the right category

    Choose HR, IT or admin so the ticket reaches the right team first time.
  2. Write a clear title

    Summarise the problem in a few words, like "Payslip missing for July".
  3. Describe what, when, expected vs actual

    Say what you did, when it happened, what you expected, and what actually happened.
  4. Attach screenshots

    A picture of the error saves a lot of back and forth.
  5. Set the priority

    Be honest — save high priority for things that block your work.

What should my description include?

Give the team enough to act without asking you again.

Title:    Cannot download my July payslip
What:     I click Download and nothing happens
When:     Started this morning, 1 Aug
Expected: A PDF payslip opens
Actual:   The button spins, then does nothing
Attached: screenshot of the spinning button

What is an SLA?

An SLA is the target time to respond to and resolve your ticket. Each priority has its own target — an urgent ticket is aimed to be answered sooner than a low one. Setting the right priority sets the right expectation.

How do I track and reply?

Open your ticket on the Helpdesk page any time to see its status — new, in progress or resolved — and read replies from the team. Reply in the same place to keep the whole conversation together.
