Add, edit, and delete your company employing entities on the HR platform

Available for the following HR plans: Free, Standard, Premium, Platinum
Available for the following user access level: Admin    

As an organisation, you will constantly undergo changes that could just be updating your business number right through to creating a new employing entity for a new business unit. These changes form a natural part of managing a business because as you grow, expand and diversify, your organisation will need to change to meet these new conditions.

You can use the Employing Entities feature to update your employing entity details stored within the HR platform, such as the location, name and business number. The platform will reflect the changes you make in this section throughout the entire HR platform, making sure your platform displays the correct information to your users.

Helpful Hint

When you add and/or edit your Australian Business Number (ABN) number on the HR platform we will run a check with the Australian Tax Office (ATO) to make sure it is a valid number.

Important

If you are integrating with a payroll platform, the employing entity will need to be created in the Employment Hero payroll platform first. You should only create an employing entity in the HR platform if it is an overseas entity not integrated with your payroll platform.
