Why I am unable to add an employee?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Sometimes when adding an employee you may encounter a problem progressing to the next page in the wizard. This is a result of invalid information being entered. Here are the common invalid information.
If these things have been checked, confirmed and removed and the issue persists the only option is to enter your own details and once the employee has been added editing the details at that point. If you are still unable to use the correct details at this point you should contact support and speak with a Payroll Expert about having the details amended.

Hi, Im trying to add a new employee and I'm unable to get past the personal details page, I have tried entering in all the details manually but still with no luck.
Please help

Hi glenblittle,
Thanks for reaching out in the Community! A common reason that the personal details may not be accepted is if the employee's address isn't able to be located (this uses the Google Maps feature which may or may not recognise the address). Try entering in another address such as your own to see if you will be able to continue. You can change this once the employee has been created and added to your books by simply selecting their name and updating their information.

Hi sudhir1,
Thanks for reaching out. Are you able to provide a little more information on the issue you are having, e.g. have you added the new hires into the Employee section but cannot see them in Tsheets to create timesheets or are you trying to add new hires into Tsheets directly?
Thanks,
Rebecca
