How to add employees to a LinkedIn company page (and remove the wrong ones)
Admins can't add employees to a LinkedIn company page. How people get linked, why some don't show, and how a verified Page removes a false employee.
How do you add employees to a LinkedIn company page?
You ask them to, because an admin can't. LinkedIn's help page says people appear on a company Page when they add a current position to their profile and pick the company from the list, the entry with your logo. Admins have no button to add anyone, and the count can take 30 days to update.

Why are employees not showing on our LinkedIn page?
Usually they typed the company name instead of picking it from the list, so their profile has no link to the Page. LinkedIn's help page also says only current members show, and changes can take up to 30 days. If the Page will not appear in their list, it suggests following the Page, clearing the browser cache and signing in again.
Can a LinkedIn page admin add employees?
No. LinkedIn's help page says admins currently cannot add an associated member to a Page by hand, because the link comes from each person's own profile. Send new hires the Page's exact name or link and ask them to pick it when they update their profile.
How do you remove someone from your LinkedIn company page?
From their profile, if your Page is verified. LinkedIn's help page, updated three weeks ago, says a super admin can open the person's profile, click More and choose Never an employee of my org. They then have seven days to verify a work email, or their profile is unlinked from your Page.

Will the person know who reported them?
No. LinkedIn's help page says reporting a member's employment as inaccurate is anonymous, and the member is not told which admin reported it. Someone who linked to the wrong company by mistake can also fix it themselves by editing their Experience section.
Can you hide employees on a LinkedIn company page?
LinkedIn's help pages describe no way to hide current employees. The list is built from members' own profiles, and anyone can click the employee count on a Page to see it. Remove people who never worked there, and leave the rest to their own profiles.
How do you stop fake jobs and fake employees on your page?
Verify the Page and add your email domain. LinkedIn's help pages say a verified Page lets employees verify their workplace and lets admins report people who never worked there. A super admin can also add the company's email domains, so only people with that work email can post a job under your Page.
Workplace verification with a work email is open only at select companies so far, by LinkedIn's help page. Where it is open, a verified badge on an employee's profile tells people their link to your Page is real. How a Page gets verified is in how to verify a LinkedIn company page.
How do you get employees posting about the work?

Quick answers
Up to 30 days. LinkedIn's help page says the associated member count can take that long to update after people are added or leave. If someone still does not appear after a month, check that they picked your company from the list and did not type the name.
