Hi Mehvish,
Employee Number is very Important in Organisation. When Employee join an organisation , he/ she will be alloted a unique REference number, that should be used for all your future correspondence with HR/ FIN etc.

Hello All,
Even we are going to start giving emp IDs for our staff.... is there anything in particular to be kept in mind while deciding on the format...
We have thought of keeping it as alpha-numeric code... eg NCDR01 where NC in short in the company's Name.. DR representing the designation and 01 representing nth number of employee in the organisation...
Can anybody help me in correcting if i am wrong anywhere or missed out on anything important...
Looking forward for your valuable view,...
Regards,
Padmashree

hi ali ,i suggest code should bear "the period (year) of appointment" of the employee to the company or organisation.example (NCDR01 - 02 ) where '02' represents the year 2002this is optional although vitalronald

I agree to what Padma had quoted, But Tracking designation of the staff wouldn't be required since it is not going to be the permanent information we have an other option called Position no, There are chances where in which promotion is applicable in such cases the designation will change.
Do we revise the staff id on promotion? it's not possible right?

It would be always better to capture only the permanent details like.
year of joining/Date of joining
Location
Etc.

See to that the number generation is in sequential order follow alphabetical order in case of more person joining on the same date this would ideal.

Please consider using only numbers for employee ids. Other information about the employee maybe stored under other fields.
Mapping of information and MIS becomes very simple. Incase you work on MSexcel extensively with employee data, you will appreciate usage of numbers for employee ids, most ERPs throw data in MSexcel format.

Employee num IDS should be kept simple. Like in our org we start the employee num in the ascending order of joining dates.Like 0098 etc. this makes the record keeping easy.. rest of the details like designation, dept, can be easily sort from MIS,Personnel files, so better keep it simple.
