How to Update Employee Details

You can update an employee’s details at any time — including personal information, employment terms, payroll settings, and more. Changes take effect immediately after saving.

  1. In the left sidebar, click Employees, then select Employees List. Locate the employee you want to update. Click the pencil icon on the right side of their row to open the edit form.
