Employee Group Code Naming Conventions and Considerations

ISSUE: Need background on different Employee Group Code Naming Conventions, the different methods and considerations to ensure codes are easy to follow within HRP.  

IMPACT: Employee Group Codes are a huge reference point for everyone using the system

  1. HR/Payroll/Salary Updates/File Generation
  2. Employee Group Code = 8 Character limit

 

Different Considerations for best Naming Conventions

  • Board Consensus
  • How Timesheets/Absences are processed
  • What the need and current situation is
    1. Perhaps carryover from previous system
      • Board might already be familiar with these
    2. Perhaps Group Codes are in need of overhaul
      • Workflow and internal issues caused
