Adding a new employee

You add a new employee to Employee Maintenance using the New Employee wizard. This wizard guides you through the necessary steps. The screens in the New Employee wizard correspond to information in the tabs on the Employee Maintenance screen. After you add an employee, you can edit the information or add more information using the tabs.

Caution: If your company's employee records are updated by interfaces, you should add new employees in your company's system of record. Any changes you make using the New Employee wizard will be overwritten the next time an interface file is imported.
