Register Employees

To use the Human Resources functionality, you must first register each employee by creating a card with all the core and related information.

You can modify an employee's details at any time. Keeping up-to-date records about your employees simplifies personnel tasks. For example, if an employee's address changes, you register this on the employee card.

The following procedures describe how to create an initial employee card and how to assign two types of employee details to an employee. In addition, you can assign various other related information, such as qualifications and causes of inactivity. You assign employee information either by choosing a field or an action on the Employee Card page.

Note

You can reimburse employees for their expenses during business activities. For this purpose, you must fill in the fields on the Payments FastTab on the Employee Card page. For more information, see Record and Reimburse Employees' Expenses.
