Work country

The work country is the country in which an employee is paid. The work country determines what type of taxation is applied and functions you can or cannot perform. For example, you cannot create Canada garnishment rules for a company or process level with a work country other than Canada.

You can use multiple work countries. If you do, you can assign a different work country to each process level.

You maintain work country codes in the Interstat application.

Consider the following before you assign work countries to your company or process levels:

  • You must assign the same work country to all employees in a process level.

  • Work country codes are tied to country-specific HR Codes for citizenship, ethnicity, name suffix, and name titles. See Defining Country-Specific HR Codes.

  • For applicants, the application sorts ethnicity codes by country.
