Use case
It is possible some employees get onboarded without a National Insurance (NI) Number assigned to them yet.
A National Insurance number doesn't impact someone's taxation or employment in any way - as an employer you'll be able to start paying your employee from their first day of employment, with or without a NI number or not.
The employee and any admin can update a NI number directly within the employee's profile.
How to update a National Insurance number
1. Go to the People tab
2. Click "Work & Pay"
3. Scroll down to the "National Insurance" box and click "Update"
4. Within the pop-up, update your employee's National insurance number
Click Save, and you're done!
