Employee works numbers can either be entered manually or the software can be instructed to automatically generate these for you.

Manual Entry of Works Numbers

To enter a works number manually, within 'Employees':

• choose the employee from the left-hand listing to access their employee record
   
• enter their works number within their 'Employment' section
   
• Save changes

Auto-Generation of Works Numbers 

Should you wish the software to automatically generate works numbers for you using your own custom settings, this option can be set up within Employer > Edit Details > Typical Employee:

• Tick the box to indicate you wish the software to automatically generate works numbers for you
   
• Click the 'custom settings' link
  
  
  
  
   
• Use the fields provided to define how your auto-generated works numbers should be formatted:
  
  
  
   
• Click 'OK', followed by 'Save Changes'

The next employee record you set up in the software will now see the auto-generation settings applied:

Please note: on customising your settings, these will only affect newly generated works numbers going forward - existing works numbers will not be changed.
