Employee

Employee creation is a fundamental aspect of accounting software, serving the crucial purpose of establishing and managing personnel within an organization. This functionality allows businesses to input essential details such as employee names, contact information, roles, and associated permissions. By facilitating the creation of employee profiles, accounting software enables businesses to streamline payroll processing, track attendance, manage benefits, and ensure compliance with labour regulations. Additionally, it serves as a centralized database for employee information, fostering efficient communication and collaboration across departments. Overall, employee creation features in accounting software play a pivotal role in optimizing workforce management processes and enhancing organizational efficiency.

Continuing from the previous discussion on new user creation, tag creation, and group creation, we'll now delve into these processes individually:

1. User Creation

Begin by gathering essential details such as the user's full name, address, contact information, and any additional professional details required.

Input the user's social media profile information if applicable.

If the user is an employee, include pertinent details such as bank information, shift schedules, salary grades, and leave types.

Once all necessary information is collected, proceed to create the user profile within the accounting software.

2. User Tags

Tags provide a way to categorize and organize users based on specific criteria.

Create tags by assigning a name and description that accurately represent the category or classification you intend to apply.

Tags can be used for various purposes such as grouping users by department, role, location, or any other relevant classification.

3. User & Groups

Inside the company/organization, you can establish both new users and groups. We will explore the steps involved in adding individual users to your system and organizing them into groups for easier management of permissions and access levels. Whether you are an administrator responsible for setting up accounts for your team members or an individual user looking to create your account, this will provide you with the necessary information and steps to accomplish your goals.

3.1. New user

Log in to the accounting software with administrative privileges.

To create a new user, you must gather essential details such as the user's full name, address, and contact information, select the validator for the specific user, and specify the commission percentage.

Once a user is created, the administrator can manage various aspects in the user details dashboard. This includes regenerating a password, listing the user's groups, generating linked files, setting permissions, assigning tasks or activities, configuring event notifications, and adding notes.

Additionally, professional details such as the employee NRC, user colour, categories, language type, signature, employment date, and date of birth are required when creating a new user.

Each user possesses a social media profile, thus allowing you to input the user's social media profile details here.

If the user is an employee, they should be able to include bank details, shift information, monthly salary grade, and their leave preferences.
