Add work locations and set weekly offs

Work locations tell Attendex where each employee works. The location's state decides Professional Tax and which holidays apply. Weekly off days drive attendance, leave day counts and the number of working days in payroll.

Before you start

• You need the Organization settings permission.
• Every company starts with one primary location called Head Office. Edit it rather than creating a duplicate.

Add or edit a location

1. Go to Settings → Organization and open the Locations tab ( open Locations).
2. Click Add location, or click the edit icon next to an existing location.
3. Enter a Name. Optionally add a short Code (letters, digits, - or _).
4. Fill in the Address, City and PIN.
5. Choose the State. This is required — it decides Professional Tax and holidays.
6. Leave Active ticked. Tick Primary location if this is your main office.
7. Click Save location.

Set your weekly off days

1. Open the Weekly off tab ( open Weekly off).
2. Under Weekly off days, tick the days that are off — for example Sunday. You can pick up to three days.
3. Choose a Saturdays rule:

1. Click Save weekly off.

What happens next

• The new rule applies from today. Earlier dates keep the rule that was in place then, so past months don't change.
• If you have a draft payroll for the current month, regenerate it so working days are recounted. See Payroll.
• Employees on a roster follow their roster instead of the weekly off rule. See Attendance & shifts.
