### 4. Add the Employee to Lillio

Open Staff/Team Management, create the staff profile, enter details, assign permissions, link the classroom or program, and save.

### 5. Add the Employee to FAMS

Open Employee Management, select **Add New Employee**, enter the required information, assign the correct access level, and save.

### 6. Verify Completion

Confirm the employee appears correctly and is active in ADP, Brightwheel, Lillio, and FAMS. Check spelling, role assignments, and permissions.

### 7. Close the Onboarding Setup

Confirm the employee is ready for scheduling, notify management that setup is complete, and record the employee name, completion date, systems updated, EA initials, and any issues in the onboarding tracker.
