If the emergency contact works with the same employer, select Yes in the Emergency Contact Works for Same Employer? field and enter the Emergency Contact Employee ID. Select the Get Existing Details check box to populate the existing employee data such as name, address, phone, email details of the Emergency Contact Employee ID.
If a user has already entered the name or address information on the record and then selects the Get Existing Details check box then the information entered by user will be overridden with data already existing in the system for the emergency contact’s employee record.
Within the transaction flow, if the user alters an already entered emergency contact for which the Get existing details check box was already used and backend data was retrieved, then the user must clear and re-select the Get Existing Details check box to update the name, address, phone, and email information.
