Updated

Available for the following plans: Employment Lite, Employment Plus, Employment Unlimited
Available for the following HR plans: Standard, Premium, Platinum

The Emergency Contacts feature lets you add how your company can contact you in an emergency. You can specify the person's name, contact information and their relationship to you.

While in the Additional Information section, you find your organization's custom fields, such as dietary requirements or what parking spot they use. To use this feature, your organization's admin will first need to set up custom fields. ‌Depending on the custom field settings, you may only have view access to these fields, or you may see nothing, as your business admin has marked the fields as hidden.
