Changes to How You Add Employees

Post updated to provide clarity.

We’re streamlining the way new employees are added to payroll by transitioning the initiation of employee onboarding from manual entry to our Employee Self Setup (ESS) system. From 29 August, all new employee records will be initiated with ESS or Employee Import. This change is designed to improve consistency, reduce manual data errors, and streamline onboarding.

‍

‍What’s changing?

‍The process of collecting employee information will now start with ESS or Import, but partners and admins will still have full visibility and control over what information is entered and approved. Once ESS is initiated, partners and admins can continue to quickly complete the details of a newly onboarded employee manually, if required.

The two streamlined ways to begin employee onboarding are:

• Employee Self Setup (ESS) – the recommended option to ensure employees securely enter key details. Learn more.
• Employee Import – bulk upload employee data in just a few clicks. Learn more.

This shift enables a faster, more consistent onboarding experience while preserving the flexibility throughout the onboarding experience.

We’ll provide further guidance before the change goes live on 29 August.
