[Hong Kong] Running Your First Payroll [Step 2 of 4]

Modified on Tue, 25 Apr, 2023 at 11:41 AM

There are two available methods to adding your employees into the HReasily system:

  1. Add Individual Employee

  2. Add Multiple Employee (Excel Template for Reference) | [View Guide]

If you've got only a handful of employees to input into the system, you may opt to add them individually. Otherwise, it is highly advised for you to utilise HReasily's add multiple employee function.


Nevertheless, we'll be guiding you through both methods.
