About Employee Maintenance

LMS uses employee records for various functions such as determining which employees are scheduled and when they are scheduled, as well as time and attendance information (if you own the Time & Attendance module). Employee records need to be updated regularly, with new employees added and old ones deleted, and information adjusted as necessary. There are two steps you perform when configuring employee records: creating an employee record, and configuring each of the tabs that make up the record. You need to create, configure and update employee records for every employee. RMS does not process an employee, either scheduling or payroll, until there is an employee record.

There are two steps involved in creating employee records:

  1. Entering essential information into the Add New Employee wizard.
  2. Configuring the appropriate information for each section of the record. Note that depending on the modules you own, you might not need to enter information in all the record fields.
