Before adding new employee records we recommend you go to the Chart of Setup section and set up your Annual Holiday Schemes, Working Patterns, Departments, Cost Centres, and the pay run so that you can assign the new employees to their respective categories as you add them.

To add a new employee simply go to Employee on the tasking zone and click on Add new Employee. Before you begin please read our notes regarding how to add a new employee. There are three steps to adding new employee details.

Step 1: Personal details: Enter the employee's personal details on this screen. Please note the following when you enter the details: Please ensure that you enter the correct date of birth for your employee because the employee will be asked to provide the same date of birth for verification if/when they use their Internet Account.
Inserting an e-mail address in the 'Employee E-Mail to be used for this service' field will result in the auto activation of the employee's Internet Account which the employee can use to view their payslips, P60s, time sheets, benefits and other details.
The employee's employment start date is defaulted to the start date of the current tax year. Enter the correct start date of the employee as appropriate.

Step 2: NI & Tax Details: Enter the employee's NI details and select the option Exemption Do it Later . Now, enter the appropriate Tax Code details for the current employment.
