Change employee reference

The Employee reference is assigned to an individual employee and it is a unique identifier that is used to refer to the employee on the T&A system. It is a key piece of information used by T&A so only under rare circumstances should you change the employee reference. The Change employee reference page and the ability to change an employees reference is only available to Supervisors with Change reference enabled in their T&A user profile.

To change the currently selected Employees reference, select Change employee reference from the menu in the drop-down Header pane. The Change employee reference page opens. For example:

Enter a new reference into the field, it must be a unique value that is not currently being used by another Employee. Selecting 'Update terminals' means when the reference has been accepted and submitted, the new Employee reference will be downloaded to the terminals or access control units immediately.

Note: a preference can be set by your system administrator that will limit what can be inputted as a reference. For example, it may only allow 6 characters to be entered.

Click  Submit  to be taken to a new page with a final message to highlight what will be changed and what will remain the same. For example:
