Maintain Location Subregions

Maintain Location Subregions

  • Define subregions for any region of China you need to differentiate. You might need to differentiate regions to offer different benefits or allowances, or to specify the portion of a region that's considered local to the worksite from the standpoint of statutory social benefits.
  • Security:
    Set Up: Contact Info, IDs, and Personal Data
     domain in the Contact Information functional area.
Once you have defined subregions, link them to a business location in order to assign them to workers in that location. HR Partners can then use the hukou fields to update personal information for workers located in China who are Chinese citizens (as defined in the citizenship classifications). Only companies with locations in China currently use location subregions (also called hukou subregions).
