Global Payroll hires start with a short questionnaire that routes you to the right hiring flow. Use this path for a single employee. If you're onboarding multiple employees for the same entity at once, use Bulk Hire instead.
How to add a new employee
Go to Onboarding
Select Employee
Select Ready to Hire
Select Hire with My Legal Entity
In Global Payroll, click Continue to Hire
In the modal that appears, select the country, then the entity
Choose Individual
Complete the onboarding form with all required information
Submit the form
What happens next
After the employee activates the account, the client must link that employee to the correct payroll cycle. Hiring and cycle linking are separate steps.
Your new employee receives an email invitation to activate their Remote People account
Once they activate their account, you'll get an email notification prompting you to link them to the correct payroll cycle
Some payroll actions may not be available for that employee until activation is complete
Hiring an employee doesn't automatically place them into a payroll cycle; linking them to a cycle is a separate, self-service step you complete once they've activated their account.
