I have employees that have not supplied an email address by choice, and as the field is required, I have entered “[email protected]”.
When a new employee is added with the same email address, the previous employee’s record is replaced with the latest one without warning!
This bug is easy to replicate: create two new employees with the same email address and only the latter will show up.
Email field should be optional or at least warned that an existing record exists and not replace the previous record! I’ve only found out after entering almost a dozen of “[email protected]” and wondering where all the employees have gone 🙁

I note that the email address is used as a WP login username – perhaps the format of the username should be “first.last” format instead (or as an option) of an email address. I had to edit their user names individually after adding employees.
