Summary Area

You can use the elements in this area to add a new work location, or to view the details of an existing work location. You cannot edit a work location if it is already used in payroll documents.

Element Description
Location ID The unique identifier of the work location.
Location Name The name of the location.
Active A check box that indicates (if selected) that the location is active, meaning in use. For auditing purposes, locations should not be removed; if the location is not used, mark it as inactive by clearing the check box.
Use Address from Branch ID The branch that you select if its location corresponds to the work location, if applicable. If you select a branch, you can use its address instead of typing in the address information.

If you select a branch, the address boxes in the Main Address section (other than the Validated check box and the three tax location codes) display the information from the branch record and cannot be edited; the data will not be stored in the work location record, but will always be pulled from the branch record as needed, so that if the branch address changes, this address record will not need to be modified.
