Employee Multiple Company Terminology
Certain terminology applies when you associate an employee with multiple companies.
| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Employee Multicompany | Employee Multicompany is the term used to describe when an employee is associated with one company, the home company, but may also be associated with additional companies as needed. This set up is useful when an employee is reassigned from one company to another, either for a temporary work assignment or for a permanent employment change. |
| Active Company | The active company is the company that you select at login, or when you switch from one company to another during a
Deltek session. The active company is also known as the current company.
When an employee is associated with multiple companies, several rules apply that relate to the active company. For example, when you process timesheet and expense report transactions for an employee who is associated with multiple companies, Deltek processes transactions associated with the currently active company. If you want to process the employee's timesheet and expense report transactions associated with a different company, use the Change Company utility () to select a different company to become the active company. |
| Home Company | The home company is the company in which the employee is currently employed. When you create a new employee record, the home company automatically defaults to the currently active company. This company name populates on the General tab of the Employees hub. |
| Company-Specific | Company-specific tabs, fields, options, and reports are driven by the company with which the current employee record is associated and include details for a single company. For example, employee payroll reports are company-specific because they show an employee's payroll information for only one company at a time. |
| Not Company-Specific | Tabs, fields, options, and reports that are not company-specific are shared and do not change, regardless of the active company or the number of companies with which the employee is associated. For example, any data that is used by CRM, such as the employee's name, licenses, experience, resumes, and personal information, is the same for all companies. |
