There are several ways of adding a new employee to Visma Nmbrs: via the 'New employee wizard' or by copying an existing employee. You can also enter multiple employees using the Import function.
Defining one or more Default employees can be a considerable time-saver when entering multiple new employees. For more information on default employees, see: Default Employees.
Note: If you have created a new employee whose service interval commences after the current period, this will not appear directly in the employee list. This is because the employee service interval has not yet started. You can find this employee via the filter, which you can then set to start/end service interval. Click Save and you'll see the employee.

Adding a new employee with the wizard
If you want to use the wizard, you can do this by selecting 'Actions' -> 'New employee' at company level.
Once you've created a default employee, select this in the Default employee option. Then enter the employee's personal details. When you click on Next, the data is automatically verified. A warning will appear if there's an incomplete entry.
After the wizard is finished, the name that is to appear on the payslip can be entered in the personal details dashlet.
In step 2 you fill in the employment contract details: at least the Start and (where applicable) End date of the contract and whether payroll tax credit is applied. Here you can also select categories such as department and role.
- If the employee's start date is earlier than the company starting period, just leave the start date in the period you are entering. Once you've fully completed the wizard, you can delete the employment contract details and re-enter them with the correct start date!
- If an employee starts work after the current period, you can set the current period to the desired month before selecting the "in service" wizard. You can then go through the same steps. NOTE: The employee will be considered as not in active service for the period prior to starting service.
- All employees actively employed during the period that is run will be included in the relevant run. If no salary and/or hours are specified, a blank slip will be generated. This is necessary because employees with an active employment contract must be included in the wage tax declaration.
If you've selected a Default employee in step 1, the default data is entered in step 3.
- Here you can enter the employee's schedule. If the employee is paid by the hour, set all schedule hours to 0. Note: for an employee who commences service halfway through the period, you still enter the full-time or part-time roster and salary as an entire period!
- You then enter the employee's period salary. You can choose from different salary options.
- Select the salary table (if applicable) here.
- Here you can enter the employee's fixed salary components and the value. If someone commences service halfway through the period, activate the Pro rata box. In this case the salary component will be calculated pro rata for this employment period only; in the subsequent periods it will be the full amount as entered.Then click on the plus sign to add the remuneration permanently.
In step 4 enter the dates of the completed and planned action points; check them if they are already completed. Then click Finish to save the details of this employee.
When all details have been entered correctly, four green ticks appear. Click "Go to employee" to go to this employee if you wish to change any other details or view the interactive payslip.
