Posted at 01:49h in Employees Module by

The “Employees” module can be used to store information about your employees, their training, their PPE, their health monitoring, etc.

It is your choice how much information you add to an employee.  Especially if you have information in other programs.

However, we recommend all information that relates to health and safety for the employee should be noted here.

Adding an Employee

Click on “Employees” on the main navigation.

You will then see a search system of all employees already in the Hasmate program.

Click the green “Add” button on the right hand side.

Employee Details Section

This section is made up of the following fields:

  • Employee No – this could be the employee’s identifier in your finance program, etc.  This is not compulsory.
