Employee Identifiers
There are several ways that you can identify your employees in UKG Pro when retrieving and updating data. Each service provides the following identifiers to represent an employee in UKG Pro.
- Employee number
- Social Security Number (SSN)
- Social Insurance Number (SIN)– Canadian companies
- Email address
Each service has a method that you can get an employee by their employee identifier. Each update will require an employee identifier as well. The following details the rules when using the identifiers.
| Item | Comments |
|---|---|
| CompanyCode | This is an optional property on the identifier. The company will default to their home company code if not provided. You will need to provide a company code on updates if the employee is in multiple companies otherwise you could inadvertently update the wrong company file. |
| Updates | The update operations require an identifier that will return a unique employee. If your identifier does not return a unique identifier the update will fail. Use the company code or another identifier to create a successful update. |
