# Organization Profile

* * *

When you first set up your organization in Zoho Payroll, you would have entered key details such as your organization’s name, address, and industry. You can view and manage most of these details any time from a single place: the **Organization Profile** under _Settings_.

* * *

**To set up or update your organization profile:**

**Prerequisites:** To make any changes to the **Organization Profile**, you must be an **Admin**, or your role in Zoho Payroll must have the **Update Organization Profile** permission.

1.  Log in to your Zoho Payroll account.
2.  Navigate to the **Organization Profile** page in _Settings_.
3.  Update the fields across the following sections as needed:
    *   [Basic Details](/en-ca/payroll/help/employer/settings/organization-profile.html#basic-details)
    *   [Address Details](/en-ca/payroll/help/employer/settings/organization-profile.html#address-details)
    *   [Contact Details](/en-ca/payroll/help/employer/settings/organization-profile.html#contact-details)
    *   [Regional Settings](/en-ca/payroll/help/employer/settings/organization-profile.html#regional-settings)

**Note:** Fields marked with an asterisk (\*) are mandatory.

4.  Click **Save** to update your preferences.

**Insight:** If the same organization is set up in other Zoho Finance applications (such as Zoho Books, Zoho Expense, Zoho Billing, Zoho Checkout, Zoho Commerce, Zoho Inventory, Zoho Invoice, Zoho Practice, Vikra, and Zakya), any changes made to the organization profile in Zoho Payroll will automatically reflect across those apps. For instance, updating your organization address in Zoho Payroll will update it in Zoho Books as well. This ensures consistency across all applications and saves you time spend on updating manually in each app.

## Address Details

You can manage your organization’s address details, including the business location and alternate addresses used for filing and pay stubs.

### Business Location

The **Business Location** is the country in which your business operates. This field is pre-filled based on your selection when creating the organization and cannot be changed. To use Zoho Payroll in a different country, you’ll need to create a new organization.

### Organization Address

**Organization Address** is the primary address provided during organization creation.

To update the organization address:

To set a different filing address:

1.  Navigate to the **Filing Address** section on the _Organization Profile_ page.
2.  Click **Change**.

**Insight:** The filing address must be one of your [work locations](/en-ca/payroll/help/employer/settings/work-locations.html). Add a new address as a work location under **_Settings > Work Locations,_** if needed.

## Contact Details

You can manage your organization’s contact details, including the website URL and primary contact.

### Primary Contact

The **Primary Contact** email address is used for:

*   **Communications from Zoho:** All important updates related to your Zoho Payroll subscription, usage alerts, and account notifications will be sent to this address.
*   **Default Sender Email Address:** This email address will be used as the default “From” address for email notifications sent to employees from Zoho Payroll.

By default, the **Primary Contact** is the email address used when your organization was created. To change it:

1.  Navigate to the **Organization Profile** page in _Settings_.
2.  Click **Configure Sender Email Preferences**. You’ll be redirected to the **Sender Email Preferences** page.
3.  Add a new sender email address and verify it.
4.  Mark it as the primary contact.

**Insight:** Only verified email addresses can be used as the primary contact.

**Warning:** Using an email address with an **unauthenticated domain** or a **public domain** (like Gmail or Yahoo) as your primary contact in Zoho Payroll may cause your emails to be flagged as spam. To prevent this, Zoho Payroll will replace your sender email address with [message-service@sender.zohopayroll.com](mailto:message-service@sender.zohopayroll.com).

If you want to continue using an email address from an **unauthenticated domain**, you must authenticate the domain first:

1.  Go to **Settings** and click **Preferences**.
2.  In the _Preferences_ pane, select **Sender Email Preferences**.
3.  Next to the unauthenticated domain, click **Authenticate Now** and complete the authentication process.

If you want to use a **public domain** email address:

1.  Navigate to the **Organization Profile** page in **Settings**.
2.  In the banner under _Contact Information_, click **Change Settings**.
3.  In the popup, select **Email Address of Sender** as the preferred sender.
4.  Click **Save**.
