Add an employee

Prev Next

The new employee “wizard” takes you through the essential details step by step and creates the record once you have completed the required fields.

Each step corresponds to a tab on the employee record, so you can find a full explanation of every field in the relevant Employee details tab.

Some information, such as benefits, can only be entered when editing an existing employee, not when creating. The relevant articles in the Employee details tabs will explain the tabs where this applies.

Once you've logged in to Cintra People:

  1. In the Payroll tab, select Payrolls in the side menu.

  2. If you have access to multiple payrolls, select the payroll you wish to add the employee to.

Add a new employee

Within the employee list of the Payroll screen, click Add employee. The first step lets you add the user's personal details.

  • Some details, such as leaving date, are NOT available when creating an employee - only when editing them.

  • You can add an employee to multiple payrolls only if the payrolls have separate PAYE numbers.

  • You may find some fields missing from the import spreadsheet or the new employee set-up process. To access these missing fields, use Cintra iQ or speak to your Bureau administrator.

  • You will NOT be able to add an employee if the payroll is locked for processing.
