Question

Does anyone know how to manually Add a new Employee? I now only have the option to "Start Employee Self Setup" or Import Employees

In the drop down on the right hand side, the option to Add Employee has disappeared and replaced with Employee Self Setup. I want to enter the information myself. How do I do this?

Thank you for the detailed information, @d-stoney01. You are correct that the option to manually add an employee has been replaced with Start Employee Self Setup.

 

While the direct manual entry option has been removed from the main interface, a change that helps you maintain compliance as employees securely manage their own details, you can still manually add an employee by initiating the self-setup process.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click Start Employee Self Setup.
  2. This will take you to a screen where you'll be prompted to input the employee's First name, Surname, Email, and Mobile number.

  3. After entering this information, click Save. This will close the prompt.
  4. Select the three-line button to add more information about the employee.
