Core HR / Country-Specific Profiles

Every country's rules, in one workspace

A country profile is the rulebook Ferio applies to each person: public holidays, entitlements, leave types, rescheduled workdays and more. Attach a profile to someone and every calendar, quota and report treats them by their own country's rules, automatically. It's what lets a team spread across Hungary, Germany and France run on a single system instead of one tool per office.

How it works

How it works
in five steps

STEP 01

Create a country profile

Start from a template that pre-fills sensible defaults, or build one from scratch, then give it a name. Public holidays come next, once the profile exists.

STEP 02

Add its public holidays

Once the profile exists, an admin imports the country's public holidays in one click, per calendar year (no typing them out) and can add company-specific closures by hand. They show on the calendar for everyone the profile covers, and none is ever deducted as leave.

STEP 03

Set the entitlement and leave types

Define the base annual allowance for the profile and choose which leave types apply in that country. Everyone attached inherits the right starting numbers, so quotas and balances are correct from day one, no per-person setup.

STEP 04

Encode substitute workdays and local rules

Mark the rescheduled working days some countries use to bridge long weekends, and switch on retroactive submission where a country lets people file leave after the fact. Ferio then counts leave against the real working calendar, not a generic one.

STEP 05

Assign people, and everything follows

Attach each person to their profile. From that moment their holidays, entitlement, working calendar and every report resolve by their own country's rules. Move someone to another profile and the whole picture updates, no parallel system per office to keep in sync.

Templates

Start from sensible defaults, not zero

Spin up a profile from a template and its defaults are already in place, so you're not configuring everything from empty. Adjust what's specific to your company, then bring in the country's public holidays. Prefer full control? Build a profile from scratch and set every rule yourself.

The right holidays, on the right calendars

With one click, an admin imports the country's public holidays for a calendar year (no typing them out) and adds any company-specific closures by hand on top. They appear on the calendar for the people the profile covers (a Hungarian and a French teammate each see their own days off) and none is ever deducted as leave.

Entitlements & leave types

Quotas that start from the local baseline

Set the base annual entitlement on the profile and choose the leave types that apply: defined on the profile itself, or shared from your workspace-wide set. Everyone on the profile inherits the right starting allowance, so a French teammate's 25 days and a Hungarian's 20-plus-bonuses are each correct without touching individual records.

Substitute workdays

When a Saturday becomes a workday, the maths still holds

Some countries move public holidays to make long weekends: declaring a Saturday a working day so a Friday can be off. Encode those swaps per year on the profile and Ferio counts leave against the real working calendar: the moved Saturday counts as a workday, the freed Friday doesn't. Countries that don't do this simply leave it empty.

Retroactive submission

Let people log leave after the fact

Turn on retroactive submission for a profile and its people can file leave for dates that have already passed, handy when a sick day or absence gets recorded after it happened. Leave it off for countries that require every request up front. It's a per-profile setting, so each office follows its own rule.

Run every office from a single system

Most leave tools assume one country's rules. Ferio lets each person carry their own profile, so a company spanning several countries runs on one workspace: each teammate handled by their own holidays, entitlements and working calendar, and every company-wide report correct across all of them. Add a new market and it's a new profile, not a new system.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Its public holidays, base entitlement, applicable leave types, substitute (rescheduled) workdays and whether people can submit leave retroactively, the full rulebook Ferio applies to everyone attached to it.
An admin imports them per country profile (one click brings in the standard national set for a calendar year) and can add company-specific closures by hand. They're shown only to the people the profile covers and never deducted as leave.
No. Start from a template that pre-fills sensible defaults, then add the country's public holidays and adjust anything specific to you, or build from empty if you'd rather.
Yes. Create a profile per country and attach each person to theirs; the whole company runs on one workspace with each office handled by its own rules.
Only if you turn on retroactive submission for their country profile. It lets them log leave for dates that have already passed; leave it off where every request must come up front.
Rescheduled working days some countries use for long weekends: a Saturday declared a workday so a Friday is off. Encoded per year on the profile, they keep leave-day counting correct.
Country profiles are managed admin-side, so the rules stay consistent for everyone attached to them.
