Deputy accounts in the US who wish to use new hire onboarding will need to record their business number in Deputy as part of the set-up process.
There are two ways System Administrators can enter your business numbers in Deputy:
- One business number for your whole organisation
- Different business numbers for each Location set up in your Deputy account
Add one business number for your whole organisation
If you have only one business number for your whole organisation represented in Deputy you can enter it in Business Settings.
1. Click on Business settings in the drop-down menu under your name on the top right-hand side of the screen.
2. On the General tab, click to toggle ON the setting to apply the business number to all locations in your business.
3. Enter your business number and click Apply Changes.
Once you have entered your business number you can continue setting up new hire onboarding in your account.
Different business numbers for each Location set up in your Deputy account
If you have different business numbers (EIN) for each Location set up in Deputy you can enter them in the Location settings.
1. On the Locations tab, click on Edit Settings for the location you wish to add a business number for.
2. On the General tab you can enter your business number into the Business Number field. Click Save.
Note: if you set business numbers at a Location level and then later decide to change your business number to be set at an organisational level then that number will override the number you have set at a location level. Furthermore, the field in the location setting will be grayed out and no longer able to be edited as shown below.
Errors
Note: Attempting to onboard a new hire in a location without a business number entered will result in an error and you will unable to onboard the new hire.
Once you have entered your business number you can return to setting up new hire onboarding.
