An employee may use a different first name than their legal one. Atlas lets you enter the employee's chosen first name in their profile to simplify communications. This name will appear on your schedule, in the employee list, and in Atlas communication channels.

Note: The employee's legal first name is retained in payroll reports for administrative purposes.


Entering an employee's preferred first name

  1. Log into Atlas, then select Employees > Manage from the left-hand navigation menu.

  2. Locate the employee and click View to access their profile.

  3. Under Personal, click Update to edit this page.

  4. Enter the name in the Preferred name field.

  5. Click Update to confirm. Important: All required fields marked with an asterisk (*) must be filled in, too.
