How can I add an employee in Fedena? What are the fields to be filled ?

Modified on Tue, 30 Aug, 2016 at 5:55 PM

 

Fedena users who are assigned with the role of an employee are called Fedena employees. An employee here may either belong to teaching staff or non-teaching staff in your institution. The role of an employee is automatically assigned to an individual, when the employee is admitted into the institution. When admitting an employee, the employee’s privileges are set according to the responsibilities the employee is assigned in an institution, thus creating a Privileged Employee


For more information about assigning employee privileges, see the section User Roles and Privileges in the Fedena Institution Setup User GuideThe administrator or a privileged employee (HR Basics privilege is required) can use the employee admission form, to admit a new employee in Fedena. Click the Module access icon > Administration > Human Resource > Employee Management > Employee admission.


The following table describes all fields available on the employee admission form.

Note: Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.
