# Add a location

**For:** Manager | Admin
**You'll need:** Nothing.

You'll create a new location, set its time zone and default work rule, and assign the people who can work there.

## Open the location form

1. Go to **Company → Locations** in the left sidebar.
2. Click **'Add new location'** in the top-right.

## Fill in the basics

1. Enter a **'Name'** for the location.
2. Enter the street, ZIP, city, and (if relevant) state in the address fields.
3. Choose a country from the **'Country'** dropdown. The state field then loads matching options — see {doc}`choose-a-state-or-subdivision`.
4. Choose a **'Time zone'**. Shifts at this location render in this time zone.
5. (Optional) Choose a default **'Work rule'** for shifts here.

## Assign people

1. In the **'People'** dropdown, pick the team members who can work at this location.
2. Click **'Save'**.

## Verify it worked

The new location appears in the list at **Company → Locations**. Open it to see its details and an empty MLP block.
