Employees Personal and Contact Details Tab

Use this tab in the Employees hub to enter, edit, and view an employee's personal and contact information, such as home address, phone, and social security number.

To ensure the confidentiality of personal information, only users with the appropriate security access can view the information on the Personal and Contact Details tab.

After you click the add record option on the form to add a new record to the hub, enter information in the fields on this tab and click Save. To edit information on this tab after you save a new record, hover over a field name and enter or select a new value or use the edit dialog box to make changes. After the appropriate fields update, save the record. Some fields, such as calculated fields, cannot be edited.

The field descriptions in this topic describe how to enter information for a new record.

If you have multiple companies in Vantagepoint, the following information applies:

  • The data that you enter on a tab applies to the company that the current record is associated with.
  • The tabs and fields that display are based on the company that the current record is associated with. For example, if the employee is associated with four different companies but only one company has access to Payroll, the Payroll tab of the Employees form displays only when you are viewing that company's record.
  • The values that are available in the individual fields and lookups are based on the company that the record is associated with. For example, only timesheet groups that are associated with the current company are available in the Group field on the Time & Expense tab of the Employees form.
  • If the Automatically retrieve your record in Employee Hub/Employee Review checkbox is selected on the General tab of My Preferences, the employee record that automatically loads is for the home company that is associated with the current record. If the record is associated with multiple companies, the home company record displays first.
