Updating Emergency Contact Information

The system updates a worker's emergency contact information automatically if you specify that the contact information is the same as the worker's contact information. When the emergency contact information is different from the worker's contact information, you must maintain the emergency contact information manually.

To activate the automatic emergency contact address update:

1. Access the address and phone pages:

   • (Classic) Administrators use the Contact Address/Phone page to update emergency contact information.

   • (Fluid) Employees use the PeopleSoft eProfile: Emergency Contact (Detail) Page to update emergency contact information.

2. Select the following options before you update the worker's address:

   • (Classic) The administrator selects the Same Address as Employee and Same Phone as Employee check boxes on the Contact Address/Phone page.

   • (Fluid) The employee selects the Same as Mine and Same Phone as Mine check boxes on the PeopleSoft eProfile: Emergency Contact - Address Pageand PeopleSoft eProfile: Emergency Contact - Phone Page respectively.

3. Select the type of address and type of phone number that is the same as the emergency contact.

   When you update the address, the system automatically updates the emergency contact address. It also updates the Update Dependent/Beneficiary pages in the Benefits menu and the Payroll Options pages in the Payroll menus.

   If the emergency contact address changes and is no longer the same as the worker's, deselect the check boxes mentioned in the previous step. The system makes the address fields on the address and phone pages available, and you can enter a different address. After you deselect the check box, the system no longer updates the emergency contact address automatically.

   Even if the emergency contact address is the same as the worker's, you can enter a different phone number.

4. Record additional emergency contact phone numbers for the emergency contact.

   • (Classic) Use the Other Phone Numbers page.

   • (Fluid) Use the PeopleSoft eProfile: Emergency Contact - Phone Page and insert additional rows.
