Setting up payroll unions

You can create the table of unions in either of the following ways:

• Create a numbering system that is independent of the union numbers, using the Local number as the union name or part of the union name. For example:

  Using separate numbers for union names

  Union #	Union Name
  1	Local 27
  2	Local 194
  3	Local 689

• Simply use the union numbers. If you have employees who work out of different locals for the same union, enter each local as a separate union. This enables you to create reports for each local. In this example, a large electrical contractor has employees working out of several National Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (NBEW) locals:

  Using local numbers
  for union names

  Union #	Union Name
  27	NBEW Local 27
  194	NBEW Local 194
  689	NBEW Local 689
