- You can also access it by clicking the ‘Information’ tab in the navigation bar that’s displayed on top of the dashboard
- Click the ‘Additional Information’ tab
- Scroll down, and you should be able to find your employee ID there. (Employee ID is also sometimes referred to as a ‘Batch number’, so you should check for that too)
Another way of checking your employee ID is via the profile icon in the upper right corner of the screen.

- It should take you to a page where employee ID, along with other user details, are mentioned

An employee ID is personal information that should be kept confidential. It’s used to access the personal and sensitive data of an employee, such as address, salary, and contact information. If fallen into the wrong hands, this data can be used for not so good purposes and for manipulation.
An employee ID is important because it gives an employee a unique identity, making him or her easily distinguishable from the rest of the workforce.
For employers, it helps collect, analyze, and process data for a particular person by simply checking the ID and eliminates the need to go through a long list of employee names.
For employees, it helps them to quickly register themselves for daily check-ins and check-outs, various company programs, and specific areas on the premises that require special permission.
