Manage Work Locations
Location Setup enables HR Administrators to define, organize, and maintain the physical workspaces within your enterprise. This core Administration function ensures that every employee is assigned to an accurate location, which serves as the foundational data for all time-attendance tracking and payroll calculations. By configuring work locations, organizations can enforce geographical rules, manage remote work policies, and ensure compliance with labor laws regarding on-site presence. The system supports multiple location types including offices, warehouses, and hybrid hubs, allowing for flexible workforce management without compromising data integrity.
When you configure a new work location, the system automatically generates unique identifiers that are linked to specific departments or business units. This linkage ensures that attendance records are correctly attributed to the right physical site, preventing errors in shift reporting and overtime calculations.
The Location Setup module integrates seamlessly with time-attendance devices and mobile check-in apps. Administrators can push location-specific rules directly to employee devices, ensuring that staff members are guided to scan their badges or use GPS verification at the correct site.
Geofencing capabilities allow you to restrict access to certain locations based on employee roles or project assignments. This feature is critical for maintaining security while also enabling accurate tracking of who is physically present where during working hours.
Core Location Features
Hierarchical location structures let you group sites under parent organizations, simplifying reporting and making it easy to view attendance data across multiple campuses or branches in a single dashboard.
Customizable location attributes include floor plans, capacity limits, and operating hours. These details help administrators set up shift rotations that align with the actual availability of each workspace.
Real-time synchronization ensures that any changes made to a location's status or address are instantly reflected across all connected systems, from payroll software to workforce management platforms.
