AccountRight Plus and Premier, Australia only To pay an employee, all their details need to be entered into an employee card in AccountRight. This includes who they are and what they'll be paid. There are 2 ways you can add an employee into AccountRight: - Self-onboarding (recommended) - send the employee a self-onboarding request so they can submit their own details straight into your AccountRight company file. All you need to do is add their pay and leave details.
- Manually create an employee card – you'll need to create an employee card and enter all the employee's details yourself. This is what we'll cover below.
