# Invite an employee to Skileo

_Skileo Human Resources › Employees · Who can do this: Business owner, Member_

Click the actions button on the employee's line and choose Invite. They get an e-mail with an Activate button, set their password and can then sign in to their own Skileo space.

## Send the invitation

1. Open “Employees” in the menu.
2. Click the actions button (**⋮**) at the end of the employee's line.
3. Choose “Invite”.

Skileo sends the e-mail and the employee's “Status” becomes “Invited”.

You can also invite them from their edit page: click the actions button (**⋮**) at the top and choose “Send invitation”. When you add a new employee, turn on “Send an invitation to join the software and confirm the account.” before you save.

The invitation always goes to the e-mail address saved for the employee.

## What the employee receives

An e-mail from Skileo saying that your company invites them to join. It lists what their account gives them, such as time off requests, documents and tasks, and has an **Activate** button.

1. They click **Activate**. The page “Set password” opens.
2. They choose a password and type it again.
3. They click “Set Password”.

They can now sign in with their e-mail and this password. Their “Status” becomes “Connected”. See [What your employees see in Skileo](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/what-employees-see).

## Send it again

If the employee didn't get the e-mail or lost it, choose “Resend invite” in the same menu. The link in the new e-mail works as the first one did.

Once the employee has signed in, the invitation item is no longer shown.

## Correct a wrong e-mail address

As long as the employee has never signed in, you can correct their address:

1. Open the employee's edit page.
2. Change the “E-Mail”.
3. Leave “Send an invitation to join the software and confirm the account.” on to send a new invitation to the new address.
4. Click “Save”.

An invitation sent to the old address stops working.


## Common questions

### Why can't I change an employee's e-mail address?

They have already signed in, or the same account is used in another company on Skileo. Only the employee can then change it, in their own profile.

### Does an employee have to use Skileo?

No. You can keep an employee's details, contracts and documents without ever inviting them.

### Does importing employees send invitations?

No. Nobody is e-mailed. Invite the imported employees one by one when you are ready.
