Invite your employee to Wave

To invite an employee to access their payroll information in their own Wave account:

1. Log in at waveapps.com.
2. On the left side menu, click Payroll > Employees.
3. Click the name of the employee you want to invite.
4. In the Personal Information tab, enter their email address, then click Save.
5. At the top right corner, click Invite to Wave.

Your employee will receive an email titled “Welcome to business name”. This email invites them to create their own Wave account or sign in to an existing one. If an employee’s email address is already associated with a Wave account, they will receive an error message if they try to create a new Wave account.

If your employee creates a new Wave account, they must create a business profile. While their payroll information is in their Personal profile, they must have a business profile to have a Wave account.

Update an employee's email address
