Hi Mehvish,
Employee number is very important in an organization. When an employee joins an organization, he/she will be allotted a unique reference number that should be used for all future correspondence with HR, finance, etc.

Hello All,
We are about to start assigning employee IDs for our staff. Is there anything, in particular, to keep in mind while deciding on the format? We have considered using an alpha-numeric code, for example, NCDR01 where NC is an abbreviation for the company's name, DR represents the designation, and 01 indicates the employee's number in the organization. Could anyone assist me in correcting any mistakes or pointing out anything important that I may have missed?
Looking forward to your valuable input.

Padmashree

Hi Ali,
I suggest that the code should include "the period (year) of appointment" of the employee to the company or organization. For example, (NCDR01 - 02) where '02' represents the year 2002. This is optional but vital.

I agree with what Padma quoted. However, tracking the designation of the staff wouldn't be necessary since it is not permanent information. We have another option called Position Number. There are instances where promotions are applicable, and in such cases, the designation will change.
Do we need to revise the staff ID upon promotion? It's not possible, right?
It would always be better to capture only the permanent details such as:
- Year of joining/Date of joining
- Location
- Etc.
Ensure that the number generation is in sequential order and follows alphabetical order in case multiple persons join on the same date; this would be ideal.

Please consider using only numbers for employee IDs. Other information about the employee may be stored under other fields.
Mapping of information and MIS becomes very simple. In case you work with MS Excel extensively with employee data, you will appreciate the usage of numbers for employee IDs, as most ERPs throw data in MS Excel format.

Employee numbers (IDs) should be kept simple. In our organization, we start the employee numbers in ascending order based on joining dates, such as 0098, to facilitate easy record-keeping. Other details like designation and department can be easily sorted from Management Information Systems (MIS) and personnel files, so it is advisable to keep it simple.
