This screen is used to enter general and personal information about the employee, such as their name, date of birth, SSN/SIN, and union membership.
Employee Code
Enter the code for the employee. This code is used throughout the Payroll module to reference the employee.
NOTE: If the 'Payroll/HR Auto Numbering' box has been checked in the Payroll tab of System Options (standard Treeview Path: System > Setup > System Options – Payroll tab), this field will not be accessible and the system will automatically number any new employees with the next available, sequential number.
Last Name, First Name, Initial, Prefix, Suffix, Alias
Enter the first and last name of the employee, along with their middle initial or name and any prefixes, suffixes, or aliases they may have.
SSN/SIN No.
Enter the SIN/SSN for the employee. Depending on the settings on the Company Control screen, the uniqueness of this SSN may be verified.
Type
Select the employee type from the following options:
-
Hourly: Employees are paid based on hours entered in timesheets for the payroll period. Date sensitive pay rates, charge out, and billing rates for hourly employees can default from the Customer, Job, Trade, Union, or Employee Pay Rate screens (see the Pay Rates section for further details). If date sensitive pay rates are not required then static hourly, charge out, and billing rates can be entered in the Rates/Salary tab.
-
Salaried: Timesheets are not required and employee wages are based on the annual salary entered on the Rates/Salary tab divided by the number of periods in the pay run. Timesheets can still be entered if payroll costs must be transferred to a job.
Full/Part
Select whether the employee works full or part-time.
Status
When setting up a new employee, this field is marked “Active” by default. If the employee is terminated, deceased, or retired, then this information can be entered in the Employment History screen and this field will reflect any changes made.

Select the working status of the employee. “Working” is entered by default for all new employees.
Working status codes are maintained on the Employee Work Status screen.
Allow Accrued Leave – Checkbox
Check this box to allow the employee to accrue leave from previous years.
FLSA Type
Select whether the employee is exempt or not from the Fair Labor Standards Act. Employees are non-exempt by default. Non-exempt employees are entitled to work overtime and their timesheets are included when processing overtime.
By contrast, all timesheets for exempt employees validate the hours based on the employee pay run frequency and overtime hours are disallowed. For example, if the employee belongs to a weekly pay run, then timesheets do not allow entry of more than 40 normal working hours per week.
Eligible for Rehire – Checkbox
Check this box to allow the employee to be rehired in the event of termination.
Unionized – Checkbox
Check this box if the employee belongs to a union. Checking this box gives access to the Union Membership Date, Union, and Union Mem. No. fields.

Hours/Year
Enter the hours worked per year for the employee where they differ from the value entered on the Company Profile. This value is used to calculate the hourly wage for a salaried employee.
Service/Days
This field is read-only and displays the employee’s total amount of service in days. Similar to the Length of Service field, it calculates the total number of days of service, from the employee hire or re-hire date to the current date. The difference is that the Length of Service field breaks the time of service down into years, months, and days, but the Service/Days field only displays the total length of service in days.
NOTE: The Service/Days field requires that the ‘Nightly Payroll Days of Service Update (special rules)’ job process is checked in the Job Queues pop-up window, launched from the [Job Queues] button located on the General tab of the System Options screen in the System Data module.
