HCI Unique Employee Identification Numbers HCI assigns each employee a unique, never to be reused, HCI employee identification number. This enables HCI to maintain the integrity of the employee’s test records stored within our system without requiring the employer to provide the employee’s SSN. This innovative new option allows our clients the flexibility to determine the best numbering system for them. They may continue to use SSN, supply a company assigned employee ID number, or use the HCI assigned employee identification number. Whichever option you choose, your historical database remains uncompromised. |

retests are the only way of truly
ensuring the success of any hearing
conservation program |
