Default home place
Hi,

could you please tell me what "home place" means in the following context:

The place of job performance and the address of regular workplace is the home place of the employee.

Does it mean the home locality or the city of residence?

Thank you very much.

Hanka

Hanka, I'm not sure, either. Could it mean city? The sentence itself doesn't read like an English sentence should read.

No, it doesn't; but some weird writing occurs in the vicinity of lawyers.
