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.
