Attaché Payroll: Employee Masterfiles - Change Employee Location Code

Updated over 3 weeks ago

You can change the location and/or code of an existing employee. You do this from:

  • Payroll, Masterfiles, Employee Details, Change Loc/Employee Code.

  • Tools, Company, Change Masterfile Codes, Change Loc/Employee Code.

Keep in mind when transferring employees that only one group certificate will be produced for that employee and check whether there are any worker's compensation or payroll tax regulations preventing one record being kept for this employee. If so, do not transfer the employee terminate them in the original location then add the same employee in the new location.

This function may take a while, as all details including existing transactions, year to date figures and leave details will be transferred to the new location/code.

You can make this change at any time, however there may be fewer details to transfer immediately after a Pay Process.

Transactions for this employee already backed up and cleared from the payroll will not be accessible using the new Location/Code. If a history is required these transactions will need to be restored to another directory and a separate report printed under the old Location/Code.
