- Choose from one of the predefined roles (admin, employee, manager or payroll admin) or select a custom role you created with different field-level permissions.
Once you’ve entered all the mandatory information, the “Save” button will become enabled. Before saving, make sure that all the required fields contain valid data. Then, simply click the “Save” button to create the employee profile.
After the employee is created, you can add further details including a Profile picture for the employee, Work information, Education & experience, Emergency contacts, Documents, Compensation, etc.
