How do I enter an employee where there is no NRC Number?

Harvester will indicate that a NRC number is required to save an employee. This is still true even with a passport number or Social Security Number entered. This is correct as the NRC number is a unique field. You can not enter an employee without an NRC number. This is to stop ghost workers, duplicate employee entries or employees using the same NRC Number. If there is no NRC Number? By law all Zambian employees must have an NRC Number but this does not always happen. Leave the default NRC Number even though it is officially non-real and auto generated. A Zambian employee has to get an NRC number, so this is a temporary measure. A passport number may be used for NAPSA returns instead of NRC but this is allowed only for Non-Zambians. Harvester will ignore the auto generated NRC Number for online NAPSA submissions. Note: See help on NAPSA Passport Numbers.
