How to add a new employee to People

Adding a new employee

1. Navigate to People in the left-hand navigation bar, and click + Add New Employee.



2. Fill in the required fields about your new employee. As a minimum, enter their name, start date, employee code, country and region of employment, and either a work or personal email address. Click Next when you have completed the required fields.
You can choose which email address the employee will use to log into Rise. If you plan to enrol the employee in payroll, you can choose which email address their paystub and T4 will go to separately from their login email within Document Delivery.



3. If you use Payroll through Rise and you want to create a payroll profile for the new employee, check the box labeled Enrol employee in payroll. Select the payroll organization and department to which you want to add this employee, then click Next.
You can skip this step and enrol the employee in payroll at a later date from the Payroll tab on their employee profile.


4. Next, you can enter additional information about the new employee’s role within your organization. SIN will be a required field if the employee will be enrolled in payroll. Click Next to continue. 



5. Add additional personal information about the new employee as necessary. Click Next to go to the final step.



6. Finally, enter contact information for the new employee. 



7. Click Create employee profile to finish setting up the employee. Their profile will be added to the People Directory and Payroll if you opted to enrol them immediately.

Other considerations

After you've created a profile for your new employee, that are other steps that you should consider to ensure they're set up to use all the features of People and Time Off:
  1. Enrolment in policies—Ensure the employee is enrolled in the applicable time off policies. See our How to enrol employees in policies article for more information.
  2. Payroll settings—On the Payroll tab, you can now manage the employee’s payroll profile. Add their time clock, direct deposit banking information and compensation policy. If you did not enrol the employee in payroll yet, you can do so from this tab at any time
  3. Send invite—Send an invitation email to the employee so they can log in to the Hub & Time Off. See our article on How to invite employees to HR & Time Off for more information.
