# Setting HR fields

Available in:

**HR Advanced**

Who can do this:

**HR Manager**

**Administrator**

You can add HR fields to the [Add Employee](/docs/adding-new-employees) process. This allows you to complete the employee's profile at the point of adding them to the system, rather than afterwards.

At the point of adding a new user to the system, you very likely already know information about their employment - such as salary.

1. To configure which fields to add, go to **Onboarding > Config > HR Onboarding Fields.**

1. Click **Select Fields** to add your HR Fields to the Add Employee process - a dialog box will appear where you can tick to enable fields from Profiles.

1. When you're happy with the configuration, click Save.
2. Once this has been configured, you'll see an additional tab on the Add Employee menu for **HR Profile**.
