Employees Firms & Contacts Tab

Use this tab in the Employees hub to associate one or more firm or contact records with an employee record.

You can associate current and prospective firms and contacts with employee records for future work.

If you have multiple companies in Vantagepoint, the following apply:

• The data that you enter on a tab applies to the company that the current record is associated with.
• The tabs and fields that display are based on the company that the current record is associated with. For example, if the employee is associated with four different companies but only one company has access to Payroll, the Payroll tab of the Employees form displays only when you are viewing that company's record.
• The values that are available in the individual fields and lookups are based on the company that the record is associated with. For example, only timesheet groups that are associated with the current company are available in the Group section on the Time & Expense tab of the Employees form.
• If the Automatically retrieve your record in Employee Hub/Employee Review checkbox is selected on the General tab of My Preferences, the employee record that automatically loads is for the home company that is associated with the current record. If the record is associated with multiple companies, the home company record displays first.
