Updated over 6 months ago

Welcome to the streamlined process of staff profile creation in Walla! This step-by-step walks you through this essential task seamlessly.

Before you start there are a couple of important things to keep in mind

  • Once you create a staff profile, you there is not a setting that switches staff profile types.
    ​

  • An employee profile can not be switched to a contractor profile or vice versa just by changing a staff profile setting, so choose the right type initially!

  • Make sure to enter the correct personal email address for your staff member, as you won't be able to edit it later without reaching out to Walla Support.
