That's for sure. I just started to work for a company that I did some consulting for about 15 years ago. It was easier paperwork to put me in the system as a part-time employee back then. So when I started again a few weeks ago, my employee ID number was still in the system to the surprise of the HR girl who handled the initial paperwork. BLS
