Managing multiple locations

Locations allow you to manage employees across different offices, countries, and time zones with location-specific leave policies and holidays.

Creating locations

Go to Settings → Locations
Click Add Location
Enter location details:
- Name: Office or location identifier
- Country: Select from dropdown
- Time zone: Automatically set based on country
- Address: Optional physical address
Click Save

Location settings

Each location can have:

Name: The location identifier
Country: Determines public holidays and time zone
Time zone: For accurate scheduling and reporting
Address: Physical location details
Leave policy: Specific policy for this location
Working days: Custom work schedule for this location

Assigning employees to locations

When adding or editing an employee:

Go to People → Add Employee or edit existing employee
In the Job Information section
Select the appropriate location from the dropdown
Save the changes

Location-specific policies

Create different leave policies for different locations:

Go to Settings → Policies
Create a new policy or edit existing
Assign the policy to specific locations
Set location-specific rules (e.g., different holiday entitlements)

Public holidays by location

Each location automatically imports public holidays for its country:

Go to Settings → Locations
Click the ⋮ menu next to a location
Select View Holidays
Review imported holidays
Use Sync Holidays to update if needed

Time zone considerations

Employees see times in their location's time zone
Reports can be filtered by location
Leave requests are processed in the employee's time zone
Managers see requests in their own time zone

Best practices

Use clear, consistent location names
Group employees by their primary work location
Consider remote workers as a separate location
Set up location-specific policies for different countries
Regularly sync holidays for all locations

Common location setups

Single office: One location for all employees
Multiple offices: Separate locations for each office
Remote teams: Location for remote workers
International: Separate locations for each country
Hybrid: Office + Remote locations
