Even though there are lots of tabs on the Employee Information page, you are only required to enter a first and last name in order to save an employee record. It is good practice to enter the compensation, deduction, and tax information as soon as possible so that the employee can be included on the next payroll run.
This Step-by-Step tutorial guides you through adding an employee using the Regular Wage compensation and the 403(b) Retirement deduction setup in the previous tutorial. It also guides you through entering other information that is normally added to an employee record.
