#### No automatic link?

Do you **not** use an automatic link with your own HR or absence system? Then manually adding an employee is always necessary before you can report this person as sick.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}

#### Have an automatic link?

Do the data come automatically from your own absence system into ZekerArbo Online? Then manual addition is in principle not necessary. When a sick report is made in your own system, we receive the data automatically.

When is adding useful with a link? If you want to generate reliable absence reports. To achieve the correct figures and percentages, the portal needs a complete overview of all employees who are employed, not just the absent employees.
{% endhint %}

#### Step-by-step: Manually add

1. Click in the left menu on **Clients**.
2. Click the button **Add client**.
3. Fill in the employee's details. Make sure you enter the personal details, address, phone number, email address and the position/working hours.
4. Click the button **Add**.

The employee is now in the system. You can now immediately create an absence report.
