Cross-Agreement Linking

Important:

Linking work agreements is an add-on feature to Workforce Management (WFM). If you want to implement the feature in your setup, contact NetSuite Customer Support.

Cross-agreement linking allows employees to be paid against separate wage agreements at different WFM locations.

Refer to the following example:

• Location 1 – All employees are paid under the Retail Industry Award for all hours worked.

• Location 2 – Some employees are paid under the Warehouse Award for all hours worked.

Cross-agreement linking allows you to set up the Warehouse Award to be paid for the hours worked of selected employees at Location 2.

Before you can link work agreements across different locations for each employee, you should first finish setting up the wage agreements and creating groups.

For more information, see Creating a Wage Agreement.

To link work agreements:

1. Open the wage agreement. See Accessing Wage Agreements.

2. Click the Locations subtab.

   A list of locations that use the wage agreement to calculate shifts appears.

3. Click + Add locations….

4. On the Add locations window, complete the required information.

   • Groups – If you have set up category groups, from the Available Choices panel, select the groups that should use the agreement to calculate wages.

   • Locations – From the Available Choices panel, select the groups that should use the agreement to calculate wages.

5. Click + Add locations.
