Employee Payroll General Tab

Use this tab to enter or edit an employee's:

• Name, address, phone number, email address, and SSN or SIN.

• Birth date and employment dates (such as hire date, last review date, termination date, and so on). 

The tab also displays the date on which the record was added or last edited.

For Canada, you must enter at least an employee number, a birth date, a hire date, and a social insurance number. If you don't know the employee's social insurance number, you can enter zeros and correct the number later.

For U.S., you must enter at least an employee number, a standard two-character state code (only if the country is U.S.A.), a hire date, and a social security number or social insurance number. If you don't know the employee's social security number, enter zeros and correct the number later.

Note that when you add an employee, the Template field on the General tab lets you select an employee template that has already been set up. Learn more About Employee Templates.
