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.

Re-employing an employee but can't see their original record?

2. In the boxes provided, enter the personal and pay details for the employee.

   Note: You must complete the information marked with an asterisk (*). For more information, refer to Quick new employee details.

3. If you are creating more than one employee, to keep some of the information > Save & Retain. Otherwise, to save and clear the information from the window > Save & Clear.
4. When you have finished > Close.
