Resolution
We generally advise against using special characters in Employee Master because they perpetuate errors for other processes.
Additional Information
While most HCM reports sweep for special characters, other program reports do not. This could interfere with Payroll processes like Time and Attendance, Exports and Imports, and State and Federal reporting.
For example, see Codes with Special Characters moving into EERP Employee Pending Time Entry from Time and Attendance incorrectly.
