On this page

The Employee Detail screen shows one employee's HR master record and attendance history.

What this screen is for

Use Employee Detail to review or edit one employee record and to review that employee's attendance records. This is the correct place to update an employee's name, job title, department, pay information, PIN, hire date, end date, and active status.

Screen path

Dashboard > Human Resources > Employee Records > select an employee

The screen title uses this format: {First Name} {Last Name} - Employee Details.

Tabs

Employee Details

The Employee Details tab shows Basic Information - Employee ID: {employee_id}.

Fields include:

Field Meaning
First Name Employee first name.
Last Name Employee last name.
Job Title Employee job title.
Department Employee department.
Hourly Rate Hourly rate used by payroll review and labor-related calculations.
Pay Type Hourly or Salary.
PIN Employee PIN used by the shop-floor time clock.
Hire Date Employee hire date.
Employment End Date Employee end date, when applicable.
Status Active or Inactive.

Attendance

The Attendance tab shows that employee's time records.

Column Meaning
Date Attendance date.
Clock In Clock-in timestamp.
Clock Out Clock-out timestamp, when completed.
Hours Worked Hours calculated for the record.
Notes Clock-out reason or notes.

Sensitive fields

Hourly Rate and PIN are blurred until clicked. Treat both as sensitive HR data.

Do not reveal wage or PIN information to users who should not see it, and do not use screenshots of these fields unless they are intentionally hidden.

Main actions

  • Edit: Switches the employee record into edit mode.
  • Save: Saves employee detail changes.
  • Cancel: Leaves edit mode without saving changes.
  • Close: Closes the detail screen.
  • Employee Details tab: Shows employee master data.
  • Attendance tab: Shows employee attendance records.

What happens behind the scenes

Opening the detail screen loads the employee record and attendance records from Human Resources endpoints.

Saving edits updates the employee master record. Blank PIN values are saved as no PIN. Blank hire or employment end dates are saved as no date.

Setting an employee to Inactive keeps the employee record but removes the employee from the normal active employee list.

Changing employee pay data can affect future payroll review results and may affect other workflows that use employee hourly rate.

Editing the employee detail record does not directly change existing attendance records, post payroll, or create accounting entries.

Troubleshooting

The employee disappeared after editing

Likely cause: The employee status was changed to Inactive.

Safe fix: Contact support before creating a new employee record. The existing record may need to be reactivated or reviewed.

Contact support if: The employee should remain active but no longer appears in Employee Records.

PIN is already in use

Likely cause: Another employee already has the same PIN.

Safe fix: Choose a different 4-digit PIN.

Contact support if: You cannot determine which employee owns the PIN.

Attendance records are missing

Likely cause: The employee may not have completed time records, or records may belong to a duplicate employee ID.

Safe fix: Confirm the correct employee ID and check the Attendance Dashboard for active sessions.

Contact support if: Known time records are missing from the employee.
