How are workers included in a location hierarchy?

Workers are included in a location hierarchy primarily through their hiring or contracting into a specific location that is recognized within that hierarchy. This means that when a worker is hired or brought on as a contractor for a particular geographic area, their belonging to that location hierarchy is established.

The location hierarchy in Workday defines organizational structures that pertain to different physical or administrative locations where employees work. This hierarchical structure helps in managing and organizing workers based on their geographic assignments, which in turn can impact reporting, compliance, and payroll processes among other things.

While roles, department assignments, and job titles may relate to aspects of a worker's identity and job functions, they do not directly determine the inclusion of a worker within the specific location hierarchy itself. Therefore, being tied to a defined location through hiring guides the process of how workers are integrated into the hierarchy.
