## Steps to add a new Employee

1. Select **Add employee** from the top left of your screen
2. Enter a unique **JEMINI ID**. Select a **TITLE** if you wish
3. Enter a **FIRST NAME, PREFERRED NAME** (if they have one) and a **LAST NAME**
4. Enter a **BIRTH DATE** by typing it in manually or you can select the ***Calendar*** icon to find and select the correct date
5. Select a **GENDER**
6. Enter a **COMMENCEMENT DATE** and a **SERVICE START DATE** by typing it in manually or you can select the ***Calendar*** icon to find and select the correct date
7. The **PROBATION PERIOD** field will already be populated automatically, but you can change it. Based on the value that’s been populated, the **PROBATION END DATE** will be updated automatically accordingly
8. *Optional:* Upload a **PHOTO** of the Employee you’ve created by selecting **Add photo**
9. Save your changes by selecting the ***Submit*** icon

          TIP:

          

In the *Add employee* panel, some fields are mandatory (you can tell which ones are mandatory because they have a red asterisk * next to the heading). Some fields, such as BIRTH DATE, aren’t mandatory. If these fields are left blank when you select the ***Submit*** icon, you'll be prompted with a warning to check you’ve left the field blank intentionally. Select **Acknowledge** or **Acknowledge all warnings** to clear the warnings.

Once you’ve created a new Employee, or selected an Employee’s Card from the Employees dashboard, you will be taken to a page featuring the selected Employee’s information. You’ll either see their photo (if you’ve added one) or an *Add image* icon. The photo/image will be surrounded by the Bubbles that are relevant to the Employee, e.g. **Profile** bubble, **Lifecycle** bubble and **Action** bubble.

          TIP:

          

If you see an orange border around a Bubble or a Card, it means those areas still have information that need entering.
