When setting up your platform to process payroll, your Internal team will need to add default workplaces. A default workplace is a preselected work location used to ensure the correct documents are presented by the employee and for lawfully calculating overtime. This can be found in Platform setup → Business model → Engagement type → Setup payroll → Workplaces setup.

Under workplaces setup, there is the option to add a “New Workplace”, these are referred to as default workplaces. These may be locations/ facilities where the jobs will be taking place or just the address of your business; your Internal team can have multiple default workplaces. If you have a location that is in regular demand of workers, you will need to enter a permanent address in the same state so that the proper deductions can be made.

Each W2 employee would need to be assigned to a default workplace. If you navigate to the candidate’s profile and go to the employment tab, you’ll be able to add a default workplace.

The below image is what your Internal team would see when setting up default workplaces from platform setup.
