BrightHR Software / Adding employees

The employee type refers to the type of employee you're adding.

The fixed profile type, would generally be used for an employee who works the same shift pattern from week to week for example: Monday to Friday or Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

The shift pattern can vary throughout the week but needs to be the same every week.

The Variable profile, would generally be used for an employee who doesn't have a set working pattern each week or the days they work vary or the start and finish times. For example: Monday to Wednesday one week, Monday to Friday the next.

The casual profile allows you to add employees without any employment details which allows them to record personal details and add days off.

Don't worry about filling in every field for your employee in the setup process, there are only a few required fields that are required:

• Their full name (This can be amended once added)
• The employees email (this can be made up and added later for example: [email protected]
• The employee start date (This again can be amended once added)
• The jurisdiction (This cannot be amended - see the jurisdiction step for more info)
• The profile type (This cannot be amended - see the profile type step for more info)
• Leave unit type (This cannot be amended - see the days or hours step for more info)

All other fields and details are not required to set up their profile and can be added at a later stage!
