This is the 8 character ALPHANUMERIC code which identifies the Employee

    Master Record in the EMPLOYEE MASTER FILE. Normally this is an ALPHABETIC

    Code created by using the FIRST FOUR LETTERS of the Employee's LAST NAME

    followed by his INITIALS. The remaining space can be used to resolve

    duplicate codes (Jr. Sr. large families with similar names).

 

    Example: Fred Smith   - SMITF

 

   The code is used in PAYROLL TRANSACTIONS to point to the Employee's

    Master Record, where his Name, Address, Tax Information, Deductions,

    and other personal information is stored.

 

   For PAY INPUT, if the code is valid, after pressing <TAB> the Employee Name will

    appear in the BLUE CONFIRMATION BOX at right.

 

   If this code does NOT EXIST in the Master File, then a WINDOW

    will pop up listing the codes closest to the one you keyed in.

    If you keyed in a wrong code, find the code that correctly identifies

    this employee by using the buttons in the window. Then CLICK on the name to

    select the proper Employee.

 

   If the Employee DOES NOT EXIST in the Employee Master File, you must

    click on the WINDOWS title at upper left, then click on EMPLOYEES

    and ADD this Employee to the Master File.
