Contents of the Manage Employee Information Screen

Use the fields and options to configure the Manage Employee Information screen.

Identification

Field Description
Employee

This alphanumeric field is user-defined. Each employee in the database must have an identifier.

  • If you did not select the Use Social Security No for Employee ID check box on the Corporate Labor Settings subtask of the Configure Labor Settings screen, you can enter the maximum number of characters specified for Employee ID Length on the Corporate Labor Settings subtask.
  • If you selected the Use Social Security No for Employee ID check box, enter the nine-digit Social Security number for new employees in the Employee field (in the numeric form _ _ _-_ _-_ _ _ _). The Social Security No field in the Employee Info tab automatically populates with the same data. The field length for the Employee field automatically defaults to 11 characters in this case (for example, 123-45-6789). 

After you save the record, you cannot change the Employee ID field. However, you can change the Social Security No field, regardless of the Use Social Security No for Employee ID check box's status. Similarly, existing employee records are not affected if the employee ID is different from the Social Security number.
