The standard PW format for employee id should be able to be predetermined, and we should be able to set the numbering convention. When we switched to PHR we had to retain our payroll system where the old numbers had been generated. These had a particular numbering convention which we couldn't change to accommodate the PHR convention. This means we have to keep a manual record of the 'next number' and change each new employee's allocated PW id to that manual number. If there was more flexibility in this area, that would be great.
Describe the Challenge | Have to use a manual system to update PHR which is not the point of an HRIS system |
It would also be helpful if this information was added/showing when you add a new employee. At the moment it isn't, after adding the employee's new file, I have to view the file and edit and then detail why I wanted to change it. Laborious task. This is the same for the Employment Type field, noted as essential on the Personal page but I don't have the option to amend when adding a new employee.
