Quick entry of new employees' details

Open the FAQ section

Sage Cover Extra webinars

The Quick Employee option is a quick and easy way of recording details of new employees. Unlike the Employee Wizard, which uses a step by step process, all of the information is entered in to one screen. This can be a great time saver if you're more experienced with Sage 50 Payroll, or you're recording the details of more than one new employee.

Using the Quick Employee option you can create a new employee record from scratch, reuse some of the details from an existing employee, or re-employ someone who is returning to your employment.


To use the Quick Employee option

  1. Employee > Quick Employee.

    Tip: To reuse some details from an existing employee record, or to re-employ an employee, select the employee you want from the employee list >  Employee > Quick Employee. To confirm you want to proceed > Yes.

  3. When you have finished > Close.
