Field or Control

Definition

Badge Type

Select the type of badge number that you want to enter:

BA (Building Access).

CCA (Computer Center Access).

CLK (Clock).

GB (General Badge).

PA (Parking Access).

Add more values if you want or enter more than one badge type for a particular worker and employment record number.

Badge Number

Enter the badge number that corresponds to the badge type that you selected. The system ensures that the number that you enter isn't currently assigned to another worker. It also ensures that the number hasn't been assigned for future use by someone else.

For each badge type, only one badge number per worker can be active at the same time. For example, a worker can have a row for a Building Access badge type and another row for a Parking Access type, but the component does not allow you to enter two rows for the same badge type, such as two Building Access type rows.

Badge numbers can be reused. If a combination of badge type and badge number was previously assigned to a worker, but is currently inactive and hasn't been assigned for future use, you can use it for a different worker and employment record number.

See Expiration Notification Page.

Expiration Date

Include the expiration date, if the badge expires.

Use the Business Expenses page (BUSINESS_EXPENSES) to track a worker's business expenses, such as travel, meals, entertainment, and relocation costs.
