Define Aliases #

Alias information is optional; it does not have to be used.

Aliases are used to record alternate names by which an employee may be known. An alias is usually a former name, such as a woman's name prior to marriage or after divorce, or an employee's name prior to a legal surname change. It can also be a variation of the employee’s legal name (i.e. that found on the employee's SSN/ SIN card) such as a nickname or abbreviation, an alternate spelling, or an 'also known as' (AKA) name used for cultural, professional or community reasons.

By storing this information, the ‘Find a Person’ function can be used to locate employees using either the current legal name (Identity) or by other names (Aliases).

You may create and maintain alias information through the Define Aliases (IEAL) form.

Alias data is stored in the P2K_HR_ALIASES table.
