You can also create locations to enter the addresses
of external organizations that you want to maintain,
such as employment agencies.
The locations that you create exist as separate
structures that you can use for reporting purposes,
and also in rules that determine employee eligibility
for various types of compensation and benefits.
You enter information about a location only once.
Subsequently, when you set up other workforce
structures you select the location from a list.
Locations that you create are represented on a map
for easier identification and access
