Specifying initial information about a new employee

To add a new employee record to the system, use either the Employees form or the Employee 360 form.

Note: If the Integrated to External HR field is selected on the Human Resources Parameters form, employees cannot be added or deleted on these forms, and some employee information on these forms cannot be changed

To create a new record on the Employees form, select Actions > New. To create a new employee on the Employee 360 form, click Add New Employee.
On the Employees form, the Copy From Applicant (Modal) form displays. Use this to base the new employee's record on an existing applicant record. Otherwise, click Cancel to return to the Employees form.
