Our company decided to designate a contractor by adding an “X” in front of the employee number. But they aren’t doing this in all systems.
Is this a dangerous thing to do and why?

Without knowing more about their system I’d say that this is a bad design.
A better choice would be to make a column for contractor that can be 0 or 1. I guess there may have been reasons that prevented them from doing this (for example, legacy systems that cannot be changed).
