Before you can run payroll, every staff member needs an employee record. Here is how to add one in World Ledgers.
Steps
- Sign in and open HRM → Employees.
- Click Add Employee.
- If you use multi-company HRM, choose Company and Department.
- Fill the required fields: First Name, Last Name, Salary, ID Number, KRA PIN, SHIF, NSSF, and Password (for staff login where enabled).
- Add optional details: email, phone, employment type, bank account, role, PWD flag, and statutory toggles (PAYE, NSSF, SHIF, Housing Levy, HELB, NITA, etc.).
- 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.
