This article explains how to use the Quick Add feature to add a new employee to your Employment Hero platform without them having to go through the onboarding process when they first log in.

When adding a new employee to your organisation, you have the option to Quick Add them. You can also learn how to fully onboard a new employee in this article.

If you want to set up an automated onboarding workflow, you can learn how to do so in this article.

Warning

The Quick Add feature will bypass Employee Self-Service (ESS). The ESS generates an email containing an invitation to join the platform. This invitation then takes your employee through setting up their details, such as personal information, bank and superannuation information.

  2. Click the People List submenu.
  3. Click the + Add Worker button in the top right corner.
  4. Select Onboard from the dropdown menu.
