Employee numbering series

A rule that gives each new employee the next number in a set format.

An employee numbering series sets the format of staff numbers (a prefix, an optional suffix and a number of digits) and the next number to give. In Vintage People you can keep one series for everyone, or separate series by department, location, branch, grade or salary structure, with a priority order deciding which applies. A number in use, or in anyone's number history, is never given out again.
