Employees
The list of employees stores records with the information about people who work for your organization under the employment contracts. These records allow you to set up relations between employees, calculate the work schedule of an employee and the time of absences.

Role required: only users with the user_manager or admin roles can create, edit, and delete the employee records. Agent interface users with other roles can view the records, but the values of the Login, Email, and Password fields are hidden for them, unless it is their account.

- Navigate to Organization → Employees.
- Click New and fill in the fields.
- Click Save to apply the changes.
- When a SimpleOne administrator adds a new employee to the list, the system automatically creates a User record. To configure the user access to the system, follow these steps:
- In the burger menu, select Views → User.
- In the view that appears, set all necessary information about employee's account and login settings.
- Click Save or Save and exit to apply the changes.
