Step 1

To add a new employee (or access previously defined employee information), select the Employee Setup link from the Main Menu (see illustrations below).                                          

Note:  The Employee Setup screen acts as both a navigational tool and informative summary. As a navigational tool, the company screen contains hyperlinks to each employee's personal file. As a summary tool, you can customize each of the columns displayed in order to better direct your operations.  Use the screen tool-bar which includes a drop-down  menu containing all the Employee Setup  items.  The drop-down menu is associated with table buttons such as Show Column  and Hide Column  to specify the table's display (see illustration below).

 

Step 2 From the setup screen you may operate in one of three ways: add new  employee record; work with an individual employee by clicking on the desired name or work with multiple employees simultaneously by checking each individual's corresponding check-box along with the work with selected employees button provided below the table (see illustration above).

Step 3
Information entered into the Employee Setup screen will initiate much of the system’s operation. 

Each item will accomplish one or more tasks as explained below.  Items from the employee's personal file you'll notice are links, indicated as blue text, which offer a help pop-up display explaining the function of each in the system

 

Step 4
System operation for each item will apply as listed below.  Utilize help pop-ups to better understand each item and its use.
