# Where is the FBI file setup in employers?

**Cintra iQ** allows you to have more than one company (**Employer**) within a database. When creating a new **Employer**, you would enter the **Main Details** which are the contact details etc., enter the bank details **HMRC** payments are to come from, create the tax references and payrolls under each tax reference, flag if they are a small employer and record auto enrolment details such as staging date etc.

**FBI** schemes are set up in the **HMRC File** folders which can be found in **System Administration > Manage File Folders > HMRC File Folders**.

## FBI Location in Employers

If there is a requirement for more than one file path because the company has multiple tax references and they require the information to be saved into separate folders, this can be done via the S**cheme FBI Locations** button in the **PAYE Scheme** settings within the **Employer Definition** window.

1. Go to **Cintra iQ**: Payroll > Payroll Setup > Employer Setup. The **Employer Definition** window appears.
2. Select the desired **Employer**.
3. Click the **Open** button. The **Employer** window appears.
4. Navigate to the **PAYE & Payrolls** tab.
5. Double-click the desired scheme in the **PAYE Schemes** pane.
6. Click the **Pay Scheme** form appears.
7. Click the **Scheme FBI Locations** button at the bottom of the form.
