About employees

When you work with employee information in Ajera, you set up and maintain:

  • Information about the employee that you need for reporting and general record keeping
  • The way you want Ajera to process various transactions related to the employee's time and expense reports, payroll, and billing rates
  • The employee's access to Ajera, including which tasks the employee can perform

You begin by clicking Setup > Employees, where you then either set up an employee or change information for an employee. The Employee window appears, with information organized into tabs.
