Location settings | HR Web Platform

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

Locations are mandatory within the HR platform, so it is important to apply a location to each of your employees within their personnel file. Setting up locations will allow you to link your employees to a public holiday calendar. This allows each employee to submit accurate leave requests based on only the public holidays that affect them. Locations can also be used to drive policies, surveys, certifications, and other features within the platform.
