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
- Go to Planday web > People > Employees > Create employee 
- Enter First name and Last name 
- Add their Email address. This will also be their Username 
 
- Under Employee groups, click Add > select your Employee group > Save 
- Choose Gender under Information 
- Click Save > Done 
 
You can fill in extra details (contact info, wages, etc.) and send their invitation later.
