Employee Code Dilemma: Should Branch Codes Start Fresh or Continue from Head Office?

Hello all, I am working as HR in a real estate company. I have to generate an employee code for my branch office. I am already having all employee codes at the head office, so I want to know whether I have to allot all the codes at the branch office starting from 1, 2, 3, and so on, or from the last code which I had given in the head office. Please help.

Ideally, as soon as an employee joins, he/she should be assigned an employee code, whether the employee has joined the corporate office or a branch office. The employee codes should be assigned in numerical order to facilitate statutory compliance and to ensure the smooth functioning of administration.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance or clarification.

Thanks, Prashant. My confusion is whether I should start a new series in the Branch Office or continue the series that is currently ongoing in the Head Office.
