  • send the employee a self-onboarding requestthis lets the employee will submit their own personal, banking, tax and superannuation details straight into your AccountRight company file. Then, all you need to do is finish setting them up by adding their pay and leave details.

Keypoints
  • Add new employees from the Payroll or Card File command centres
  • If you'll be paying the employee into their bank account, make sure you're set up for electronic payments

    Will the employee use AccountRight?

    If you’re setting up an employee who will also be using AccountRight to work on your company file, you’ll need to give them access.

What's next?

Once you've manually created an employee's card, you can enter the employee's payroll information. If you sent the employee a self-onboarding request, find out how to finish setting them up.

If you're new to AccountRight, make sure you've finished setting up payroll. You're then ready to pay your employees!
