Character Limits
When creating a new employee, please keep the following character limits & requirements in mind:
First Name: Can include letters, numbers, special characters, and spaces. A minimum of one character is required and there is a limit of 50 characters.
Last Name: Can include letters, numbers, special characters, and spaces. A minimum of one character is required and there is a limit of 50 characters.
Email: Emails are required for each employee. If an employee doesn't have an email, an Admin can use their own or any other email. Emails are typically only used in the event an employee needs to reset their password - it is not used to access their account.
Username: Can include letters, numbers, special characters, and spaces. A minimum of one character is required, and there is a limit of 100 characters.
Password: Can include letters, numbers, special characters, and spaces. Must include at least one letter. A minimum of 6 characters is required, and there is no character limit.
Add a New Employee
Start by clicking Employees in the top navigation and then once on the Employees page, click the +Add a New Employee button:

First and Last Name
Email Address (You can use your own or any other)
Username and Password (What the employee will use to access their account)
Click Save & Add Another, to add another worker or click Save to be taken to the newly added workers profile:
Username taken? Usernames are shared across Buddy Punch, so it's likely the username you're trying to enter is already in use by another customer. Please try another username.
After being added, the worker will be emailed a welcome email which will contain their login details and instructions.
