Support - Growing / Managing your team: How do I add an employee?

Are you ready to start growing your team? If you want to hire a full-time employee, follow these steps.

If you wish to hire a contractor instead, please visit this article.

Step 1. Go to your Capbase Dashboard > Team > Employees & Contractors. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the button Add full-time employee.

​

Step 2. Fill out the name and email address of the employee.

​

Step 3. Enter the job title, a 1-2 sentence description of the job, annual salary and start date of the employee.

Employees must have a cash salary of at least $1. To add a service provider with no cash compensation, please add a contractor rather than an employee. Please visit this article to learn how to add a contractor.

​

Step 4. Enter the number of shares awarded (if applicable) and details of their vesting schedule.

​

Step 5. Review the contract details and sign the generated documents. The employee will receive an email from Capbase inviting them to create an account and sign the paperwork.

​

Once these documents are generated, you can't edit them. If the employee has not accepted their invitation yet, you can still cancel the invitation and generate a new contract if needed.

To do this, go to your Capbase Dashboard > Team > Employees & Contractors. You'll see a yellow banner at the top of the page when you have a pending employee invitation. Here, you'll click on Cancel.

​

Step 6. Once all the paperwork is fully executed, the employee will be listed on the Employees & Contractors page and the signed paperwork will be located on your Document Room page.
