Add an employee

When you add a new employee, it's helpful to have the employee's Form W-4 info handy. Be sure the employee has filled out the necessary new hire forms — I-9, W-4, and the state withholding allowance certificate.

1. In the left navigation bar, click Employees.
2. Click Add employee.
3. Enter information about the employee, and then click Done.

   If the state isn't listed, then it's not currently set up in your payroll account. Start an online chat and Full Service Payroll agent will be happy to set it up for you.

Additional info

• Be sure to keep the employee forms (the employee's latest W-4, I-9, state withholding allowance, direct deposit authorization, and so on) for 3 years after the last data entry with the company.
• Full Service Payroll automatically processes the new hire forms with the state. You don't need to do anything.
