Completing your employee setup

1 min read
On this page

After you create your password, RoostPay walks you through a short Employee setup with three steps: Welcome, Identity, and Address. This information lets RoostPay set up your pay and employee profile correctly.

Note: After this short setup, RoostPay may also open a longer nine-step Employee Setup wizard for tax, banking, and emergency contact details. See Completing the Employee Setup wizard for that flow.
  1. On the Welcome to RoostPay screen, read the short introduction and the note that your personal information is protected with industry-standard encryption. This screen also lists what you get with RoostPay, like accurate pay calculations and digital pay stubs.
  2. Tap Next to continue to the Identity step.
  3. Enter your First name and Last name.
  4. Optionally, enter a Nickname / preferred name (optional) — if you leave this blank, RoostPay uses your first name in greetings and notifications.
  5. Enter your Phone number.
  6. Enter your Date of birth in the format shown (yyyy/mm/dd), or tap the calendar icon to pick a date.
  7. Tap Next to continue to the Address step.
  8. Enter your Address line 1 and, if needed, Address line 2 (optional).
  9. Enter your City, your province, and your Postal code.
  10. Tap Submit & Complete.
Note: You must be at least 18 years old to complete employee setup. If any field shows an error, correct it and tap the button again.

You can move between steps at any time using Back and the step counter at the top of the screen (for example, “Step 2 of 3”) shows your progress. If you leave and come back, RoostPay remembers which step you were on.
