How to Add an Employee in World Ledgers HRM

20 Jan 2026 · Patrick Mwangi

Before you can run payroll, every staff member needs an employee record. Here is how to add one in World Ledgers.

Steps

  1. Sign in and open HRM → Employees.
  2. Click Add Employee.
  3. If you use multi-company HRM, choose Company and Department.
  4. Fill the required fields: First Name, Last Name, Salary, ID Number, KRA PIN, SHIF, NSSF, and Password (for staff login where enabled).
  5. Add optional details: email, phone, employment type, bank account, role, PWD flag, and statutory toggles (PAYE, NSSF, SHIF, Housing Levy, HELB, NITA, etc.).
  6. Click Save Changes.

Tips

  • Wrong KRA PIN or missing NSSF/SHIF numbers cause remittance headaches later — capture them at hire.
  • You can also import many employees via Excel from the employees screen where import is enabled.
