The Employing Entities feature allows you to update your business number, name, and country. If you want to change an employee's assigned employing entity, you will need to go via their employee profile. If you have integrated with a payroll platform, first create the employing entity there. Only add an employing entity to the HR platform if it is an overseas entity not linked to payroll. See this article for payroll platform instructions.

Manage data

Add an employing entity
  1. Click the Settings menu.
  2. In the Company section, click Employing Entities.

    • Name.
    • Country.
    • Business Number.
    • Set as default employing entity.

    Helpful Hint

    The business number, also known as the Company Registration Number, is an eight-number long code. However, if your number does not have eight numbers, add leading zeros to make sure it saves successfully. The employing entity will automatically be enabled, meaning you can add employees to this entity.
