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 Schedule, in the employee list and in Atlas communication channels.

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


How to enter 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 the View button to access their profile.

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

  4. Enter the name in the Preferred name field.

  5. Click Update to confirm. IMPORTANT: All required fields marked with * must be filled in also.
