Define Legal Entities

When defining legal entities, you must consider the context in which the legal entity is used. There are no predefined legal entities.

Before You Start

Before you define a legal entity, you must have defined:

  • Legislative data group

  • Legal addresses for the legal entity you want to create

  • Jurisdiction for the legal entity

Create Legal Entities

Here's how you can define your legal entities.

  1. Start the Legal Entities task from your implementation project, and click Create.
  2. Select the country United Kingdom.

  3. Enter the name and a unique identifier for the legal entity.

  4. Provide any other required info.

  5. Click Save and Close.

  6. Select the check box Payroll statutory unit.

    If a legal entity isn't set up as legal employer, you can select an existing payroll statutory unit (PSU) to which it belongs. Otherwise, you can identify it as a payroll statutory unit.

  7. Select the check box Legal employer.

  8. In the Registration Information section, the identifying jurisdiction is predefined as United Kingdom HMRC. Select the legal address.

  9. Enter the Legal Entity Registration Number and the PAYE Scheme that are required for registration with the predefined identifying jurisdiction.

  10. Click Save and Close.
