Under General Information, enter the First Name, Last Name, and Employee Code of the employee/driver. These are required fields.

Note: Employee Code must be unique and is limited to 11 characters.  We do NOT recommend using the Social Security Number here as this is Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Since the Employee Code is wholly visible through the system, using the SSN could put you and your employee at risk for identity theft.

Enter the Company Information.

  • Reporting Level: Pick the company name from the list using the drop-down arrow this driver reports to.
  • Job Class: Select the job class from the list using the drop down menu.
    • These can be set up in Settings > Lookups > Job Class
  • Status: Choose an employment status, such as pre-employment or full/part-time from the list using the drop-down arrow.
    • These can be set up in Settings > Lookups > Employment Status
    • Note: Drivers marked as Temporary: Encompass will not audit for missing logs violation. The system recognizes this isn’t a regular full-time driver, so it won’t expect to get a log for each day but will audit any log entered or submitted as normal.
  • Date of Hire: Dates must be entered in mm/dd/yyyy format.

Additional information can be entered for the employee under Personal Information. If a Social Security Number is entered, this information is not visible to standard users, but administrators have access to export this information.

*Note: If your company is using ELDs, before a driver is able to login to the Encompass® ELD application for the first time, they will need to be provided a usernamepassword, and activation code/fleet ID. These are setup in Encompass via Settings. VisitEncompass ELD Fleet ID, Usernames, and Passwords* for more information.

 

Adding an Employee Profile Picture

While viewing the Employee, hover your mouse over the image at the top of the profile card on the left.  A pencil icon will be displayed. Click the Pencil.

Terminating/Deleting Employees

Employees can be terminated individually or in groups (ie. in the event that multiple employees were terminated on the same day).

Terminating an Individual Employee

While viewing the roster, over to the right of the employee and hidden action buttons will display.  Select the trash bin to delete. Note: 'Deleting' employees/units in Encompass does not remove them from the system. 'Deleting' terminates/disposes those records accordingly.

Enter the date of termination and select Save.

Additionally, the employee can be terminated by editing their Employment Status under the Personal information when viewing their Employee File.
