The Designated Workplace determines the Location assigned to each employee when filtering the locations when generating the reports in Sprout HR such as Leave Report, Overtime Report, Employee List Report, Attendance Report, and Attendance Management.
It is also required when assigning an employee to a Location-based Holiday. You may check the Holiday Settings to know more about setting up location-based holidays.
