How can I create a Remote office location to reflect COVID-19 Work from Home?

With current COVID-19 Work from Home arrangements, you may find it helpful to move certain employees into a Remote office location for the time being.  Please follow the instructions below to create a new office location.



If your organization has gone through Org Unit migration:

  1. Navigate to your HRIS site.

  2. Click Company > Settings > Org Units.

  3. Click Add next to your Office Location list, and add in the desired label (e.g., Remote, WFH, etc.)

If your organization has not gone through Org Unit migration, you will need to add the new location in both HRIS and Namely Payroll.

  1. Navigate to your HRIS site.

  2. Click Company > Settings > Groups.

  3. Click Add Office Location under your Office Location list, and add in the desired label (e.g., Remote, WFH, etc.)

  4. Next, navigate to Namely Payroll.

  5. Click Company > Branch. 

  6. Click Add, and add in the desired label, matching the name you entered into HRIS.
