Location (People)

A Location in Zoho People is a configured work site or office address assigned to employees. Locations drive holiday calendars (which public holidays apply), attendance rules, and shift assignments, ensuring employees in different cities or countries follow the correct local HR policies.

What is a Location in Zoho People?

In Zoho People, a Location represents a physical work site — for example, the Mumbai office, the Pune office, or a remote-work designation. Every employee is assigned to a location, and that location determines which local settings apply to them.

How Location affects HR policies

  • Holiday Calendar: Different locations have different public holidays. Employees in Mumbai follow Maharashtra public holidays; employees in Chennai follow Tamil Nadu holidays. Assigning a location automatically applies the correct holiday list.
  • Attendance Rules: Shift timings, geo-fencing boundaries, and IP restrictions can be configured per location.
  • Leave Policies: Some leave entitlements (e.g., state-specific mandatory leave) can be assigned at the location level.

Remote and multiple locations

For remote employees or those split between two offices, you can designate a primary location and handle exceptions through custom configurations. International teams with multiple country offices each have their own location with country-specific statutory compliance settings.
