When you want to create a profile for someone in your Sage HR company, there are a few different ways to do this.


Add the employee manually

This is the easiest way to add an individual to Sage HR.

📌TIP: This is also a way to add an employee to Sage HR without sending them a welcome email. You can send the welcome email later.​

Use our guides below depending on what payroll integration you have for your Sage HR company.


Add employees using an import template

This is the easiest way to add multiple employees in one go. You download and complete an import template, then import it into Sage HR.

📌TIP: This is also a way to add multiple employees to Sage HR without sending them a welcome email. You can send the welcome emails later.​


Upload payslips - Sage 50 Payroll UK integration

If you use Sage HR Online Services, which is Sage HR integrated with Sage 50 Payroll, you can also create employee profiles by uploading the employee's payslips.

When you upload the employee's payslips, if the employee doesn't exist in Sage HR yet, it creates a Sage HR profile. This profile will automatically be linked to their payroll profile. The employee is also automatically sent a welcome email.


📌TIP: We recommend letting your employees know not to try logging in until they receive a welcome email.
