Employees in Martus are linked to a Position within a Scenario to calculate certain Pay Types. While the Employee field is optional on a Position, most organizations add their employees to Martus for better reporting.

Notes on Employees
- The employee record must be linked to a position in Personnel Budgeting > Scenarios > Positions to have any impact on the scenario.
- The employee is optional within a position, but it is needed if a pay item within the position relies on the Anniversary Date or Coverage 1 or 2.
- It is best practice to create at least one "Vacant Position" employee to be used for vacant, future, or seasonal positions. Create a placeholder for pooled positions if used.
- Each combination of First Name, Last Name, and Payroll System Id must be unique. If you aren't using the Payroll System Id, you can add a middle initial to the First Name.
- Employees can be imported via the Pay Data File.
