Home location and shared locations
Every employee has one home location and can be shared with other locations. The two settings control different things.
Setting | What it means | What it affects |
Home location | The location the employee is paid from | Which location's payroll their timecards belong to |
Shared locations | Other locations the employee can work at | Which location schedules the employee appears on |
Time off requests are not sent to the home location. When an employee requests time off in the Nory Team app, they choose the approver themselves from the people who can approve holiday requests. If reporting lines are switched on, only their own manager and people senior to them are listed. Learn more in Requesting time off and selecting an approver.
How do I share an employee with another location?
Add the other location to the employee's profile so they can be scheduled there.
Go to Schedule & Workforce > People.
Click the employee's name to open their profile.
Open the Role tab.
In the Add location dropdown, select the location or locations. [CONFIRM: field label]
Click Save changes.
The employee will now appears on the schedule for each location you added. Their home location doesn't change.
Spotting shared employees on the schedule
The schedule marks shared employees so managers can tell who's who.
A shared employee's initials are shown in a different style.
Shifts the employee is working at another location look different. Hover over the shift to see the location name.
How do I move an employee to another location permanently?
Change the employee's home location. This changes which location pays them.
Go to Schedule & Workforce > People and open the employee's profile.
Open the Role tab.
Select the new location in the Home Location dropdown.
Click Save changes.
Paying shared employees
Shared employees can have timecards at more than one location. Use the filter on the Timecards page in Schedule & Workforce > Payroll to choose which timecards you see.
Filter | What it shows | Use it to |
<location> team | Timecards for employees whose home location is the selected location, wherever they worked | Run payroll for the people this location pays |
<location> timecards | Timecards for anyone who worked a shift at the selected location, whatever their home location | See everyone who worked at this location |
Only approved timecards are exported. Learn more in Reviewing, editing, approving and exporting timecards.
Common questions
Who approves a shared employee's time off?
A shared employee's time off is approved by the person the employee chooses when they make the request in the Nory Team app. It is not tied to their home location.
Does an employee need to be added to a location to cover one shift there?
An employee needs to be added to a location before you can schedule them there, even for one shift. They only appear on a location's schedule once that location has been added to their profile.
Still stuck?
If a shared employee doesn't appear on a schedule or their timecards are at the wrong location, contact Support from the chat in Nory with the employee's name, their home location, and the location you expected to see them at.
