What happens if I receive a Duplicate NRC message when adding an employee?

Harvester will indicate that a NRC number is required to save an employee. This is correct as the NRC number is a unique field. However if you are prevented from saving a new employee and a "Duplicate-NRC-Number" message is given then do the following to find the employee already on the system with that NRC Number: First do a search under "Employed" employees: Select the "Edit-employees" icon and then at the top right of the Edit-employees page, enter the NRC of the person you are trying to add. Press "Search" and then the employee may be found. You may change this to a made-up or random NRC number and then after saving this "new" NRC you will be able to add or edit the "new" employee and enter the correct NRC number as it will no longer be duplicated. Then do a search under "Terminated" or "Fired" employees: NB If the employee is still not found, then use the drop-down Search option next to the NRC-Number search-box to search for "Terminated" or "Fired" employees. The default is the search option for only "Employed" employees. Press "Search" and then the "Terminated" employee should be found. Then you can simply re-employ the employee by changing his "Terminated" setting under the "edit-employee page" and the employee will move from "Terminated" to "Employed".
