Examples of Creating Multiple Work Relationships for a Person

When you create a person record, you also create that person's first work relationship. Once a person record exists, you can create additional work relationships with the same or different legal employers.

You manage work relationships using the Work Relationship quick action on the My Client Groups or My Team tab. Let's look at some valid combinations of work relationships.
