If you have a new starter, it's easy to manually create a Sage Payroll profile for them.
Go to Employees then select Add employee.
Enter the employee's First name and Last name.
Enter the employee's work email.
⚠️Caution: Employees without email addresses cannot access Sage HR
Email addresses are required for employees to access self-service in Sage HR.
For example, requesting leave, viewing shifts or entering and submitting timesheets.From the main menu, click Company. Make sure you are on the Directory tab.
Click Add.
Enter the employee's First name and Last name.
Enter the employee's work email.
⚠️CAUTION: Make sure this email address is live and correct. Confirm this email address before following the rest of the steps.
Enter the employee start date.
If required, you can upload profile photo for the employee by clicking the Green camera button.
Clear the Send welcome email check box.
📌TIP: We recommend clearing this so you only send invitations to all your employees once you have set everything up in Sage HR. If you select Send welcome email, the employee may log in to Sage HR before you have fully set them up.
Click Create account.
If required you can select relevant Account settings such as their Position, Direct manager, Team, Location, and Right to work evidence.
If you have the Leave Management and/or the Timesheets module you can also select settings such as time off policies, time off approvers, Timesheets group and a Timesheets working pattern.
Click Save.
All Account settings you can amend or sort out later when required.
