FictionSoft assigns every new employee an Employee Identification Number (EIN). This six-digit number is randomly-generated and is permanently assigned to that employee. Employees will use their EIN to enter their hours in Time Sheet Software and to complete many company forms. A Social Security number (SSN) is required for the new hire process, on tax forms, and for other legal and financial documents, but some forms have been modified to replace SSN with EIN as much as possible. Payroll contacts in the departments also use the EIN as each employee’s unique identifier.
