Add Employees

Add Employees

Adding employees to your Zoho Shifts accounts helps streamline employee scheduling, track employee attendance, and facilitate team communication. It also helps in effective workforce management, seamless coordination, and comprehensive reporting. To do this, access the Employees tab on the homepage, which will open the Employees window.
Data Center Compatibility Issue

When inviting an employee, if their email address is already registered with a different data center, you won't be able to register their account within your current Zoho Shifts organization's data center.
 
For example, suppose Mr. John Parker is registered with the email address john.parker@zylker.com within the EU data center. In that case, you cannot include him in the US data center using the same email address.
 
However, you can still invite the same employee to your organization by considering the following options:
  • Use a different email address for the employee.
These alternatives will help you ensure compatibility and successful inclusion of the employee within your Zoho Shifts organization.
Here, you can add employees in two ways:
  • Batch invitation to multiple employees
  • Manual invitation to each employee

Batch invitation to multiple employees
