Employee Home Company

When you track multiple companies in Deltek, you use the Home Company field on the General tab of the Employees hub to assign an employee to a home company.

The employee's home company is the company that:

• Manages the employee's timesheet and expense report processes, including timesheet frequency and approval settings.
• Is responsible for paying the employee.

The home company can be thought of as the company that "owns" the employee and is their current employer. This is the company where the employee's personal information is maintained. Each employee must have one designated home company and can then have multiple associated companies. When you create a new employee, the Home Company field fills automatically with the currently active company. If you open an existing employee record and want to change the Home Company, use the Home Company drop-down list to select a different home company. The drop-down list only includes active companies with which the employee is associated.

After you specify the employee's home company, you can associate the employee with additional companies as needed. A new record is created for each association. You can specify the employee's organization, pay rate, account, and timesheet information for each associated company. Deltek can then process transactions and reports for each company using the appropriate organizations, pay rates, accounts, and timesheet information for the employee.

The end result is that one employee may have multiple employee records in the Employees hub, but each employee will only have one home company.
