Employee Identification (EID) Number The EID is the Employee Identification number that the UW randomly assigns to each employee. It is nine digits starting with the number 8, appears on your Husky Card (your UW ID Card), and is used for various identification purposes at UW. The number is required to sign up for parking, Husky Card accounts, identification for Benefits, payroll records, IMA membership, and many other purposes. There are two ways to initially obtain your EID: 1. You may receive this from your residency/fellowship program administrator. 2. Once you have setup your UW NetID, from the UW Homepage (www.washington.edu), click on MyUW at the bottom of the page and login with your UW NetID and password > click on Faculty/Staff at the top of the page > then select the Employee Self Service (ESS) link. Your EID is located on the top right-hand corner of the page under your name. June 9, 2014
