         10 . A method of processing information within a computer system regarding an employer, the computer system including at least one computer comprising at least one processor and storage medium within a computer network, the method comprising:
 receiving division information from an employer by the at least one computer system;   storing the division information in a hierarchal manner as an employer profile on the at least one storage medium;   receiving at least one account user information from the employer regarding at least one employer account user to be associated with the employer profile, the account user information including account user authentication information;   storing the account user information on the at least one storage medium;   receiving from an at least one employer, user account authentication information; and   processing the authentication information with the employer profile in the computer system by the at least one computer processor to grant the at least one account user access to the division information.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the hierarchical manner is according to subsidiary companies.
