Employee Self Setup - Employer Process

It is always exciting when new employees start, but in the past, more employees also meant more paperwork for employers. With the Employee Self Setup (ESS) feature, employers can say goodbye to the paperwork associated with hiring new employees. ESS lets employers manage the onboarding process from start to finish quickly and seamlessly. 

Getting started

Add an employee via Employee Self Setup: Individually
  1. On your dashboard, click the Start Employee Self Setup button.

    Helpful Hint

    If you can only see "Add Employee," click the downward arrow button beside it. Then, click Start Employee Self Setup.
