Step 1: Welcome to Planday

Step 3: Create your first employee

Why this matters

Only employees with a Planday profile can be added to your schedule.
You can invite them now or later but they need a profile before they can work shifts in Planday.

Create your first employee

  1. Go to Planday web > People > Employees > Create employee

  2. Enter First name and Last name

  3. Add their Email address. This will also be their Username

  4. Under Employee groups, click Add > select your Employee group > Save

  5. Choose Gender under Information

  6. Click Save > Done

You can fill in extra details (contact info, wages, etc.) and send their invitation later.
