Introduction

This section describes how to edit custom fields for your account.

Custom fields allow you to hold custom pieces of information about your employees within Ready pay (powered by ePayroll), rather than in another system or spreadsheet.

NOTE: You must have the Employer Authority web role to configure Custom Fields.

Accessing the Custom Fields Configuration screen

To access the Custom Field configuration go to the Administration -> Custom Fields screen

Adding a Custom Field

To add a Custom Field:

1. Enter a Name in one of the empty Custom Field Name fields
2. If you want employees to be able to edit the custom field value for themselves, place a tick in the Editable by Employees check box
3. Click the Save Changes button

The Custom Field will immediately become available on each employee’s record.

If the field is Editable by Employees, employees will be able to edit the field on the Personal Details screen by following the instructions in the Viewing/Editing Personal Details help topic.

If it is not Editable by Employees, an Employee Authority can update the field value on the Employees screen by following the instructions at Personal Details.
