General

Employee Id

Enter an alphanumeric identification of the employee you are creating a record for here. Some companies like to use the employee's initials in this field for easy identification.

exclaimEmployee IDs must be unique among all employees. Once the employee has become inactive (by unchecking the Employed checkbox below), the employee ID can be reused. Take caution, however, because the employee ID is stamped on many records, including all transactions. This means that quickly reusing an employee ID can cause confusion. Keep in mind that you can always use numeric values in this field.

Q & A - Employees

Q01.   The e-mail settings are not available for certain employees. Why not?
A01.   Employees must also be setup as Users in Security Administrator, for E-Mail features to be available. Be sure to enter the employee using the same employee ID in both programs.

Q02.   How do I control employee access?
A02.   Once an employee has been created, you can then add a security user in the Security Administrator program. On the user record, enter the employee ID in the field provided. This will establish the link. The Security Administrator controls access to the program by unlocking program resources for users, and/or assigning the user to one or more groups with unlocked resources.

Q03.   I hire temporary employees for the holiday seasons, when our sales volume is much higher. Should I enter them as employees? Is there a way to define them as temporary?
A03.   You should enter anyone who is going to working directly for you as an employee. They can be defined in the program as a temporary worker by creating a new employee department specifically for temporary employees, or they can also be placed in the department they are working in. With respect to security, you can set their security profile up to expire after a certain date, so they can no longer log into the program after that date has passed.

Q04.   Can I delete employee information for old employees that are no longer with our company? I would like to reuse an employee ID.
A04.   You can delete employees if you want to. However, we highly suggest you make old employees inactive (by unchecking the "employed" checkbox), after which the employee's ID can be reused.

Q05.   Can I keep employee performance reports in the program?
A05.   You can keep information like this in the notes tab of the employee record.

Q06.   I don't see my question here. Where else can I get information?
A06.   Visit our website's Technical Support section.
