HS Staff: Add Staff for Essentials

Note: This article is for HotSchedules Essentials customers.  If you are a standard HotSchedules user or your site doesn't match the images and descriptions listed below, click HERE to read a more-tailored article for your situation.

In order to schedule your employees, you will need to first create a HotSchedules account for them and either print or email them a personalized Welcome Sheet so they can log in and begin customizing their profiles.  To add an employee to HotSchedules, simply hover your mouse over the STAFF tab and select ADD STAFF.

If you're already viewing your Staff List, you can also select the NEW EMPLOYEE button in the upper, right-hand side of the page.

Fill in your employee's first and last names, assign him/her a Job and Permission, and enter an email address.  Please note that email addresses aren't required, but strongly recommended.  If you add an email address, a personalized Welcome Sheet will be sent to the address you enter upon selecting SAVE STAFF at the top of the page.  You can quickly add more than one employee by selecting ADD AN EMPLOYEE to create a new row.

You can then hover your mouse over the STAFF tab again and select STAFF LIST to view the list of created accounts.  If you didn't enter an email address, you'll want to print a Welcome Sheet for your new employee by selecting his/her name in the Staff List, and selecting the WELCOME SHEET button from the WELCOME STAFF dropdown menu.
