The Employee List
The Employee List is your record of every staff member. To open it, click Employee → Employee List in the menu.
What you see
Each row is one employee. Common columns include their name, staff number, department, branch and whether they are currently active. You can:
- Search for someone by typing their name or staff number in the box above the table.
- Sort the list by clicking a column heading (for example, to group by department).
- Choose columns to show only the information you care about.
- Open an employee by clicking their row to view or edit all their details.
Active and inactive staff
- Active staff are currently employed and included when you run payroll.
- Inactive (resigned) staff are kept for your records and history but are normally left out of new payroll runs.
tip
When someone leaves the company, mark them as inactive rather than deleting them. This keeps their past payslips and reports intact for your records and for the authorities.
