As an organisation, you may have multiple business locations with different employees based in each locale. Having a location register, with a record of each address and a description of the location, will allow you to maintain an accurate record of who works where within your organisation.
The locations feature allows you to add in your organisation's address, the country it is located in, and a description. You can also use this feature to edit any previously entered information, disable, and enable locations, and permanently delete a record that is no longer in use.
HR Best Practise
Setting up locations will allow you to link your employees to a public holiday calendar. It allows each employee to submit accurate leave requests based on only the public holidays that affect them.

- Set up your organisations public holidays | HR Web Platform This feature is where you can set up public holidays based on the locations you have just created for your organisation.
- Editing employment details | HR Employee File This feature is where you can assign the locations you have just created to the relevant employees.
