# Link Employee with Other Objects

Connect the Employee object to other objects.

Employee has an `Employee.UserId` lookup field to the User object. Also, the Employee object is linked to Individual. PersonAccount, for example, is sometimes used to represent employees. PersonAccount could be linked to an Employee via Individual.

Other examples for utilizing Individual’s connection to Work.com include:

-   Solutions leveraging Contact can tie back via Contact > Individual \< Employee.
-   Solutions leveraging PersonAccount can tie back via PersonAccount > Individual \< Employee.
-   Solutions leveraging custom Employee objects can tie back via Employee > Individual \< Custom employee object.

Data synchronization is still required, depending on your own data model. The Command Center package ships with triggers that are designed to populate Individuals based on Employees, and associate Individuals to Users based on the Employee Number field.
