What information do you need to properly set up an employee into a payroll system?

"To set up an employee into a payroll system, such as Quickbooks, the details I would include are the employees' full name, date of birth, social insurance number, pay rate, commission and bonus details, and any other variable forms of payment. Also, if the employee would like additional income tax deduced, I would include that information, and any other details the company deems necessary to log."

"From my understanding, to set up an employee into a payroll system, I should include personal details such as the employee's full name, government ID, compensation details, and any other information required to ensure the employee is paid correctly and within pay regulations for the company's region."
