Information to prepare before creating an employee

Common mistakes when creating employees
Leaving key contact fields blank
Make sure name, email, and phone are completed if your process requires them. Missing contact information can cause issues later with communication and assignment.
Not completing payroll or tax data when required
If the form requires payroll or tax fields, complete them before saving. Incomplete data may block or delay payroll processes.
Assigning the wrong position
Check the employee’s actual role before selecting a position or labor configuration. An incorrect position can affect reporting and payroll rules.
