I would like to have a field for a former name or alternate name rather than simply changing the primary name associated with an account. This will make it easier when searching. Presently, I put the name in parentheses.

Some of our employees have a preferred name that is not their legal name. We would like to have a preferred name and legal name fields. Their legal name would populate official pay reports, but everyone would see their preferred name.

Our district uses the "Comment" Section for this. It is not visible to the employees, but only to those with admin access. Probably not ideal, but it works for us at the moment.

Agree! It would also be helpful to be able to run a report with all former names as well.
Michele DiMauro
This would be helpful.
J
Jenn Pitzinger
YES please!! This or some sort of "internal notes" section for Admin. We have several name changes each year. Being able to include their maiden or former name would be incredibly helpful in matching RR reports with Payroll or HR reports.
S
Susan Nazario
We are looking for this as well, a place to hold a familiar name, nickname or whatever the school and subs would recognized in the system and could be displayed and/or in reports instead of their legal name and could be imported along with the automated processing (so another name field).

This is mostly beneficial for our substitutes! Of course, the preferred name would not need to be a required field but viewable to teachers. Some of our subs have complained about not getting jobs because the teacher doesn't know who they are. Yes, I know the system is automated and the name shouldn't matter but... Some of our teachers will still look over the list to call a sub.

We have substitutes who go by a preferred name. It would be helpful to have a field for this.

Yes, this is very helpful for those that identify with a different name.
