It may happen that some of your employees use a chosen first name rather than their legal one.

Atlas lets you enter the employee's chosen first name in their profile, to simplify communications.

This is the first name that will appear on your rota, in the employee list and in Rotas and Workforce Management communication channels.

Please note that their legal first name will be retained in payroll reports for administrative purposes.


How to enter an employee's first name

You can do this for the employee by going to the employee's record via Employees/workers > Manage on Atlas.

Then, click into to the record of the desired employee.

Click on "Update" to change the name, then click "Update".
