You can add locations to the Employment Hero platform from anywhere in the world. When you include a location from a supported region, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, or Singapore, the platform automatically populates employees' profiles with relevant country-specific features. Additionally, setting up locations links employees to a public holiday calendar specific to their location, enabling them to submit time off requests based on the public holidays that apply to them.
