EMPLOYEE ASSIGNMENT    (per-person overrides via import/form)

Match Line does not automatically enforce employment law, tax, or payroll rules. Templates help you start configuration; your organisation remains responsible for legal compliance.

Supported country templates (M26)

Route: /hrms/onboarding — select country, apply template.

What country onboarding sets

• Organisation country_code, locale, currency_code, default_timezone
• Default leave policy row (entitlement template)
• Standard working pattern (STANDARD)
• Holiday calendar shell (name/code; dates added manually)

Date presentation

Driven by organisation locale. Use YYYY-MM-DD in CSV imports regardless of display locale.

Regional / location configuration

• location is free text on employees
• No separate region hierarchy beyond country template

Holiday calendar

• One default calendar per org from onboarding
• Dates: operator or admin adds holidays manually — no automatic national holiday feed

Leave policy

• Organisation-scoped policy
• Entitlement days, carry-over cap set by country template at onboarding; view summary on /hrms/leave
• Not country-specific law engine — adjust fields to match your policy

Per-employee overrides

Import columns: country_code, holiday_calendar_code, leave_policy_code, working_pattern_code.

Changing country after onboarding

Re-run onboarding only if product allows; otherwise operator assistance. Country change may not retroactively fix all employee assignments.

Legal disclaimer

Match Line configuration does not constitute legal, payroll, tax, or employment-law compliance. Consult qualified advisers for statutory obligations in each jurisdiction.
