Corporate vs. Location Level
TimeForge is a very sophisticated labor management system that works well for both independently owned and operated businesses, as well as chain concepts and franchises with multiple locations. More than just an employee scheduling system, TimeForge has two separate operating levels that can be customized to match your business hierarchy:
- The Corporate (or Corporation) level is used to manage settings that affect multiple locations, such as separate retail stores, hotels, or restaurants.
- The Location level is used to manage employee schedules and attendance at a specific location.
When operated by a business with more than one location, some of the functionality of TimeForge is moved to the Corporate level to ensure consistent labor reports and pay rules across all business locations.
