The **Employee list** tab is where you do everything to do with your staff. It opens on the directory: the list of everyone registered under your organisation. **Where:** Employer › **Employee list**. **Before you start:** your account must be [Active](/employer/activation) to add employees. The tab has five sub-tabs along the top. The pages that follow take them in order: | Sub-tab | Use it to | | - | - | | Employee directory | See and open every employee | | Register employee | [Add one employee](/employer/employees/register) | | Drafts | [Finish registrations you saved for later](/employer/employees/drafts) | | Bulk upload employees | [Add many employees from a CSV file](/employer/employees/bulk-upload) | | Update employee records | [Find an employee and change their details](/employer/employees/update-records) | ## Before you have employees Employee directory with the message No employees registered yet ## Find an employee Employee directory with the search box, status filter and a View button marked 1 to 3 1. **Search** by name, employee ID, national ID or phone number. 2. **Status** filters the list, for example to show only **Registered** or **Terminated** employees. 3. **View** opens the [employee record](/employer/employees/employee-record). Each row shows the employee's name and employee ID, national ID, phone, opening balance and status. Select a column heading to sort by it. ## Generate opening balances for several employees The platform calculates an employee's [opening balance](/employer/employees/employee-record#opening-balance) automatically when you register them. If an employee shows **Not generated** in the **Opening balance** column, you can generate it here for several employees at once. Two employees ticked and the Generate opening balances (2) button marked 1 Tick the box at the start of each row, or the box in the heading row to select everyone. The button shows how many employees are selected. A message tells you how many balances were generated. Employees who already had a balance are skipped and counted separately. Message: Opening balances generated for 0 employees. 2 already had one. | Status | Meaning | | - | - | | Registered | A current employee. Their benefit grows every month. | | Terminated | Their service has ended. Their benefit is being settled or has been paid. They no longer accrue. | **Next:** [register your first employee](/employer/employees/register).
