Add Employee

Add Employee Video

Click on Add Employee to open the Add Employee screen.

Employee ID – this must be unique and is validated to ensure that another employee is not already using this ID.

Next Available ID – provides the next higher numbered ID, or use the drop down button to enter an ID as a starting point.

Clock ID – the ID used at the time clock. If the employee is non-punching, then uncheck the checkbox. The clock ID must be unique and is validated, so if the software finds a duplicate clock ID, it will add the employee, but will not add the clock ID. A popup message will inform you of this.

First Name – enter the employee's first name here.

Last Name – enter the employee's last name here.

SSN – enter it here if you want to validate the uniqueness of an employee by their SSN.

Labor Levels – the employee’s home labor levels. Entered in the Main tab if not entered on this screen. If your authorization only allows you to add employees into certain labor levels, then you will need to enter the labor levels in order to enable the Add button. Click on the button for the labor levels selection screen.

Copy settings from currently selected employee – this will copy the labor levels, pay rule, base schedule, holiday group, accrual group and work pattern information settings from the currently selected employee, and assign the next available ID. Please note that no personal information will copy to the new employee.

Duplicate Employee Check – performs a check by name and SSN to identify possible duplicate entry of an existing employee. If the software finds a matching employee, but it is not a duplicate (for example, two employees have identical names), then you will need to uncheck this before clicking the Add button.

Starting Date – used as the date for the status, shift history and work pattern information.

Add Active Status Entry – adds an Active entry into the employee's status information using the Starting Date.

Add Shift Entry – adds an entry into the employee's shift history using the Shift Count, Daily Hours, Shift and Starting Date information.

Add Work Pattern Entry – adds an entry into the employee's Work Pattern information using the Starting Date. If an employee is part of the Scheduler, then select "Soft Scheduler" or "Scheduler".

Add Button

The Add button enables once you have entered the required employee information. The Employee ID and Clock ID are validated to ensure that they are both unique. The employee will not be added if another employee already uses this Employee ID. The employee will be added, but the clock ID will not be added if the clock ID is already used by another employee. In this situation, a popup message displays.

After adding the employee, the Add Employee screen will close and the employee is added to the employee list, and is automatically selected. Enter any additional employee information that you are maintaining.

Find Employee

The Find Employee screen searches for employees in various ways and with various criteria.

Find

Filtered List

Based on the Find value and the Look In type selected, a filtered list of employees displays. Clicking on an employee selects that employee in the employee list.

Find First / Find Next

Based on the Find value and the Look In type selected, you can move sequentially through the employee list until no more employees match the criteria.

Highlight All/ Unhighlight

Based on the Find value and the Look In type selected, highlight all employees that match the criteria.

Options

Employee Status Filtering – only employees in a status that is set to display by default will be included in searching unless you select other status types. If the found employee is not currently displayed in the employee list, then you will need to make them visible first.

Sort Order – sorts the list of employees by the employee ID, the employee name, or the best matching value. The best matching value sorts those employees that start with the value you are looking for, before employees that contain or end with the value you are looking for. For example, when looking for "berg," Bergman would come before Goldberg.

Default On Enter Key – pressing the Enter key can be set to be the equivalent of clicking the Filtered List button or clicking the Find First button.
