How to Add and Manage Payroll Employees

Overview

A payroll employee holds the salary structure used to calculate pay — their earnings, deductions and insurance. This is separate from the HR record and focuses purely on what the person is paid.

Steps

1. Go to HR Payroll > Manage Employees (/admin/hr_payroll/manage_employees).
2. Add an employee and set their earnings, deductions and insurance components.
3. Filter the list by month, staff, department or role to find people quickly.
4. Export an employee's details to PDF when you need a record.
5. Use copy to reuse one salary structure across similar employees.

Tips

• Copying a structure is the fastest way to onboard many employees on the same pay grade.
