|---|---|
| Employee Number | If available, provide the employee’s proper employee number. In cases where the employee number is not yet available, use the employee’s National ID number until such time that en employee number becomes available. While typing any number in this field the system will validate the new number against all numbers already in the database, thereby preventing duplicates. The employee number used here is the number that will be used to create a USERNAME for the employee. This username will be used by an employee/user to log in to the system. Also refer to the Create User Account field for more information. The functionality to automatically generate employee numbers is available and can be activated if needed. If the override employee number functionality is active, an employee number can be assigned by the System Administrator himself. |

| Subsidiary | Sometimes a company may want to maintain their own employees in the database as well as records from e.g. contractors that are not employees. In these cases other subsidiaries can be created and these non-employees linked to such a subsidiary. They will then reside in the system but will not appear on any reports etc. Therefore there should be a subsidiary for company-own employees and if needed other subsidiaries for special-case “employees”. |
