Formula & methodology
How to Structure Scalable Employee ID Numbers
Combining a location or department prefix with a zero-padded sequential number and onboarding year creates self-documenting IDs:
Format: [Department/Location Prefix] - [Zero-Padded Sequence] - [Onboarding Year] Example: OPS-0101-2026, KIT-0102-2026, FOH-0103-2026
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 'Standard Prefix' used for?
A standard prefix identifies the employee's department or store location at a glance—such as 'KIT-' for Kitchen, 'FOH-' for Front of House, or 'ENG-' for Engineering.
Should I use Sequential (Fixed) or Random Alphanumeric IDs?
Sequential IDs (0101, 0102) are easiest for payroll ledgers and filing, while Random Alphanumeric IDs prevent employees from guessing another person's badge code.
Can I print these IDs with QR codes?
Yes, every generated row includes a unique SVG QR code that prints cleanly or exports to CSV.
