In Weplanify, a site is a workplace: office, agency, warehouse, building site. Employees, slots and clock-ins are attached to it.

## Steps

1. Open **Settings → Sites and clients**, **Sites** tab, then click **New site** (or a site to edit it).
2. **General** tab: name, [client](https://weplanify.io/docs/configuration.clients?lang=en), parent site if any, country and address.
3. Set the radius around the address (from 150 to 600 metres): it is the area where [geolocation clock-in](https://weplanify.io/docs/pointage.modes-de-pointage?lang=en) is accepted.
4. **Configuration** tab: the site's time zone, supervisors, [overtime](https://weplanify.io/docs/pointage.heures-supplementaires?lang=en) threshold and night range for the site. Then **Save**.

## Good to know

- Two levels at most: a sub-site shares its parent site's client.
- The site's time zone decides whether an employee is late or absent.
- For many sites: **Import** ([Excel import](https://weplanify.io/docs/demarrage.import-excel?lang=en)). Each site also has its [automatically created group](https://weplanify.io/docs/employes.groupes?lang=en).
