Adding Employees

Your payroll requires detailed information for each employee who is to be included in the calculation. This information can be entered in the Setup Employee screen, and also in various other screens under the Employee menu.

Choose from the two methods below to learn how to add employees to your payroll.

Employee Template - This is the preferred/easiest method for adding employees, and involves using a pre-defined "template" that contains multiple settings that can be applied to a new employee in a single step. Employee templates not only save you the time of manually assigning each payroll item to the new employee, but can also ensure accuracy as no items will be missed.
Manually - This method involves adding employees one at a time, and assigning each payroll item one at a time.
