Overview
As an organisation, you may utilise multiple employing entities that each have a different ABN and that need customisation options tailored for each entity. By utilising a payroll platform that offers this level of flexibility will enable you to tailor your organisational setup based on each entity, meaning you can view, report and process payroll actions on a per entity basis.
The Employing Entities feature in the payroll platform allows you to add employing entities to your platform and specify details such as the unique NZBM, contact name, address and signatory name. This feature also allows your organisation, for example, to have the correct pay slip information and logo displayed for your employees regardless of which entity they work under.
Warning
When you create an employing entity on the HR platform, it synchronises your organisational details with the payroll platform automatically. However, when you create an entity on the payroll platform, it does not automatically synchronise with the HR platform. To read information on how to synchronise the changes made on the payroll platform with the HR platform, refer to the following article.
Whilst you can process a single pay run with employees from multiple entities, the pay run will still only produce one pay run in a journal. I.e, we will not create a separate journal for each employing entity. To achieve that, you will need to split the pay runs and process separate pay runs for each employing entity.
