Create a Location

The first workforce structures to define are the locations where business is conducted or which are of interest to the business. Locations store information about the physical location of a workforce structure and can be assigned to workers to define their physical work location.

Use the Manage Locations task in the Setup and Maintenance work area to create locations. You enter information about a location only once. Subsequently, when you set up other workforce structures you select the location from a list.

To create or manage locations:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, do the following:

   • Offering: Workforce Deployment

   • Functional Area: Legal Structures

   • Task: Manage Locations

   Expand the entry to display a list of related tasks.

2. Select Go to Task for the Manage Locations task.

3. Click Create.

4. On the Create Location page, provide the required information.

5. In the Legislative Information section, select the Census Metropolitan Area of the employee's work location, under the Canada Employment Equity Interface Rules section. This information is used for Employment Equity reporting.

6. Select the Workers Compensation Payroll Statutory Unit and the Workers Compensation Classification Unit Override to override the default rate specified at the PSU level.

7. Select the Provincial Medical Payroll Statutory Unit and the Provincial Medical Account Override to override the default rate specified at the PSU level.
