# Adding your payees

Now that your payroll is set up, the next step is to add your payees.

Locate the *Payees* link on the side panel, then click on the `New payee` button:

Enter your payee's details:

Note that the we currently support two types of payees:

* arm's length employees and
* closely held payees.

It is important to choose the correct type of payee for your scenario, since these are being reported to the ATO under different income stream types:

{% hint style="info" %}
Some concessions are available to small employers making payments to closely held payees, such family members of a family business, directors and shareholders of a company or beneficiaries of a trust, most notable being:

* quarterly reporting and
* finalising later than 14 July.
  {% endhint %}

Note as well the `Is director` flag in the screenshot above. Turning this flag ON will enable *Director's fees* payments for this payee.

Once you are done setting up all the payee's relevant fields remember to click `Save` :

Repeat this process for all your payees.
