Adding employees and departments

The HR module's employee list is the source of truth for everything HR-related in Mewayz. Set it up once and Leave, Payroll, Attendance, and Reviews all inherit the same records.

Add an employee

1. Open HR → Employees → Add employee.
2. Fill in personal details: name, email, phone, joining date.
3. Set work details: department, designation, employment type (full-time, part-time, contract), reporting manager.
4. Set compensation: salary, payment frequency, currency.
5. Optionally upload an offer letter or contract PDF — stored against the record.
6. Save. Employees with an email get a free workspace login automatically (for leave requests, payslips, etc.).

Organise into departments

Create departments in HR → Settings → Departments — Engineering, Sales, Operations, etc. Each department can have a head; reporting structures flow upward through this hierarchy.
