Add staff

Create a record for a non-teaching staff member, including drivers.

A staff record covers the people who run the school but do not teach a class — administrators, accountants, drivers, and so on. Teachers have their own record type; see Add teachers.

Who this is for

Administrators registering non-teaching staff.

Steps

Open the Add Staff form

From the admin sidebar, go to HR → Staff, then start a new staff member.

The staff form: identity, contact, and role details.

Fill in the staff details

Complete the fields below. Only the required ones are needed to save.

FieldRequiredNotes
First nameYesThe staff member's first name.
Last nameYesThe staff member's last name.
Phone numberYesA valid phone number with country code.
GenderYesMale or female.
Hiring dateYesThe date the staff member was hired.
Staff typeYesThe kind of staff — e.g. administrative, accountant, driver.
EmailNoUsed later if they get a portal account.
Other detailsNoNative name, nationality, date and place of birth, address, previous school.

You can also upload a profile photo and fill any custom fields your school has defined for staff.

Add driver details (drivers only)

If you set the staff type to Driver, an extra section appears. The driving license number and license expiry date are then required.

Upload documents (optional)

When creating a staff member you can attach a contract, identity document, and résumé. Accepted formats and the size limit are shown above the upload fields.

Save the staff member

Submit the form. You are taken to the new staff member's profile.

Logging in is a separate step

Creating a staff record does not create a login. To let the staff member sign in, create a portal account for them — see Create portal accounts.
