To create an employee that can be processed in payroll there is basic information required. There is also additional information that is visible on the payslip of an employee but is not required. In this article we will first explain the basic creation of an employee. The second part will clarify the additional information.
When starting with this scenario we assume that API Overview and Getting started API is known.
Part 1: Required information for an employee for payroll
Information below is the minimal that is required so that employee can be processed in a run.
Create an employee
There are two ways to create an employee. Use method Employee_Insert or Employee_InsertBasedOnDefault.
1. When you use Employee_Insert you will have to set SVW an wage tax settings as well.
For enumeration of wage tax and SVW see Wagetax-enumerations and SVW.
2. When you use method Employee_InsertBasedOnDefault, settings, such as SVW and wage tax, will be automatically set according to default employee template. For more information see What is Default Employee Template?
In both methods (Employee_Insert and Employee_InsertBasedOnDefault) you use an StartDate. This date will be the start date of the service interval of an employee in Nmbrs and not the initial start date of the employee in the company.
You also have to use a company ID, to get company ID see How to get CompanyId?
After you inserted an employee you will get the ID of that employee. The number of employee is sequent starting from 1. If you don't save the EmployeeId you can use API methods to get the EmployeeId. For more information see How to get EmployeeId?
