When entering a new person, the system can be set to default the Employee Status to “Active” or “New Hire” or any of the statuses  that you have created in System Data.  This setting can be changed at different times of the year.  For example, during the spring months as people are being hired to start in the fall, they could be entered with a default status of “New Hire”.  However, after the beginning of the fiscal year, you could change the default status for new hires to “Active” such that any new people you add to the system will default to “Active”.  Again, this is a default setting used to speed up data entry but that can be overridden when entering a new person.

It is important to select the statuses that indicate “active” people so that the personnel list on the home page includes the people you want and that certain reports will know which people to include.  Check the boxes for the “active” statuses.

It is also important to select the end of work statuses since the system performs certain functions when an employee leaves employment.  Check the boxes for the “termination-type” statuses.
