Employee IDs

An Employee ID refers to the number that an employee uses to sign into a workstation. An employee ID is often a Magnetic (Mag) card, which is a credit card-like swiping device that stores a 10-digit card number. An employee ID can also be just a number, such as a PIN, that the user types into the workstation.

Some function keys prompt for employee number or Employee ID, based on an option setting somewhere in the EMC. Every employee has an employee number, but not all employees have an Employee ID.

EMC Viewing

In the EMC, Employee IDs are editable in the Employee Maintenance module. A user can see the ID number of other employees only when the user is associated with a role that has the View Employee ID option enabled.

Workstation Option

In the EMC, when the Workstation module option Mag Card Entry Required for Employee ID is enabled, a user cannot type a number to sign in to the device.
