Two companies, unique employee numbers- best practice?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 30

We will be separating our employees into two separate companies.

 

While they will be in separate companies, they will still be sharing much (like the same HR department)

There will be a possibility that we will have duplicate employee IDs

What is the best practice to help insure that there are unique employee ids when information is put together for reporting purposes?

    If you use automatic numbering, you could always start the employees in the new company with a new sequence.  You can use PSTL to change the employee numbers once they get into the new company to create the initial separation.  

    You could also use information from the employee to create unique IDs, like SMITH5575 which is last name and the last four digits of the SSN.
