How do I add employees if I have multiple locations?

Can we limit the manager's permission?

- Go to Settings > Team Permissions and check any box next to the settings that you would like to give your Managers or GMs access to.
Why can’t I edit my employee’s information?
- If you're unable to edit your employee's information, it may be because the employee created the Homebase account before starting with your team.

Why do I get errors when trying to add some new employee profiles?
- If you are getting errors while trying to add a new employee profile, it may be caused by a few factors:
- The Employee was previously terminated: If this is the case select Show Terminated in the team roster and Rehire the same employee profile.
- The Employee has another Homebase account: if your employee has used Homebase before, and you attempt to add their info, it has to be the exact same email and phone number as the employee's old profile.
How do I terminate an employee?
- You can terminate an employee by selecting Terminate at the top of their profile, or by clicking the three (3) dots on the right side of their profile on the team Roster and selecting Terminate Team Member.
How do I rehire an employee?
- To rehire an employee, you'll need to view your terminated employees. You can do this by clicking "Show Terminated" in the top right.

How do I add multiple wage rates for my employees?
