# 7.2.3 Employee Module The employee module allows you to register your internal and external employees and co-workers in vtenext. Whenever a new user is created, a new employee record is generated automatically. The module can be managed like all the others, modifying the “employment type” picklist items or adding new fields freely. The Name and Surname default fields and all those present in “User Information” cannot be changed using this module but only from “User Preferences”. Whenever changes are made from user preferences they are replicated in the Employees module. The employee record can be connected to one of the four record types in vtenext, namely Lead, Account, Contact or Vendor.
