# Update existing work location

<p class="callout danger">This action requires the "**Update work locations**" permission.</p>

Updating a work locations name will not cause any issues, as long as the name is unique.

Settings a work location as "hidden", however, will have more of an impact, as this setting determines, if an employee can use the work location in a request for work on location.

Updating "paid lunch" determines, if employees, who work on the work location, receive paid lunch or not.

#### Contact information
