Permission needed

To be able to view, add or amend emergency contacts for someone else in the system you will need the permission called 'Person - Next of Kins'.

As you will not be able to edit your own permissions, these will need to be added for you by your manager or any other System Owner user.

They can add the permissions to your account by following the steps in our article on adding permissions, or you can raise a case with our Support team who will also be able to assign you the permissions from their end.


Adding emergency contacts

  1. Search for the employee and go to their profile.

  2. Click Person and then Profile.

  3. Click Edit in the Emergency Contacts area.

  4. Click Add and fill in the details of the emergency contact.

  5. Click Save.

πŸ“Œ Note: You can repeat the process above in order to add multiple emergency contacts to an employee, but one of them will need to be set as primary. To do this, when creating the emergency contact, check the Primary Emergency Contact box before saving.
