As a business you can have multiple locations based in different suburbs or states; in these cases your organisation would have different employees employed in each location. Having a location register, with a record of each address and the applicable general ledger mapping code, will allow you to maintain an accurate record of who works where within your organisation.
This feature allows you to add a new location with the ability to specify its name, state, and general ledger code. The locations you add, and then assign to an employee, will enable you to report on the labour costs of each location. This feature also allows you to edit the information if it changes and delete a location if it is no longer relevant.
Important
Any changes made to your locations will need syncing over to your HR platform. To read further details on how to undertake this, refer to the following article.
The payroll platform by default only allows you to create one top level location, however, if you need multiple top level locations, you can enable this via the Advanced Settings feature. To read further information on how to enable this feature, refer to the following article.

So you have now managed your locations and you are now wondering, what next can I do. There are two recommendations I would make on this front and they are:
