Step 8. Set Up New Hire Defaults (Optional)

What are New Hire Defaults?

Default entries are used to speed up data entry. These entries usually do not change but may be changed at the employee level.

Entries that are made in Powerpay as default entries will appear automatically when entering information for new employees by selecting the New Hire button under the Hire/Profile link.

Why do I have to do this?

If any of the information fields for your new employees are the same, entering New Hire Defaults speeds up the process of entering new employee information.
