The business’s and employee names are printed on the card. Can be ordered for anyone employed by the business. This includes owners, administrators, department leaders, and employees. No purpose is associated with the card’s use. |
The business’s name, employee’s name, and purpose are printed on the card**. Business owners can’t order utility cards for themselves. They’re meant only for employees, department leaders, and administrators. The purpose can’t be changed once the card is ordered. If changes are needed, the business owner or administrator needs to cancel it and order a new utility card with a new purpose. |
