I can't create a new BackOffice Manager.

The Business Owner is the only user who can give an employee BackOffice access. If you don’t see ‘BackOffice Manager’ when adding/editing an employee, you are not signed in as the Business Owner.

1. Log out of BackOffice.
2. Log back in as the Business Owner.

I created a new employee in BackOffice, but they can't sign in.

This error can occur if employee information is not saved on the Staff List, or ‘Get Updates’ has not been completed on the register.

1. After an employee is entered or employee information is updated, click 'Save' on the employee information page.

   

2. Click 'OK' on the Staff List.
3. 'Get Updates' on the register.

Employees cannot be undeleted. If you delete an employee, manually add them back to the Staff List.
