Propagate Calendar hours for a domain

Proposed
I can not seem to find this if it is in build 8797, but if not I would like to propose it.
In each calendar for each user you can set the start and stop times for a calendar.  I think there should be a way to set the calendar hours at the domain level, and then propagate them out to all of the users.  
Does this exist and I just cant see it ?

A domain often being a business or an org, we would assume most of the hours for meetings, scheduling, and availability would be the same company wide. Each user should be able to override and set their own calendar, but it would make company management a lot easier.  For Instance we have an auto repair shop that has operating hours from 7 am till 7 pm, and staff rotates at different times during the day.  But mechanics, estimations, painting and other activities span the full 12 hours for dozens of people.   

Likewise we work with several homeless shelters and they are 24/7 operations. scheduling things like , move ins, computer use, laundry, meetings, etc, can be done at any time for most of the staffing, especially when they are rotating shifts during holidays.

Setting each persons individual calendar for dozens of people is rather cumbersome.

Easy * a LOT is still a LOT. One of our domains has 36 users, another domain has 48 user accounts.. Having to manually go into 36 and 48 user accounts and do it one at a time is a waste of time. Cant trust that the end user is going to do it properly, or at all when many can barely use email properly. I cant imagine having to configure a domain that has hundreds of users on it and all of the calendar settings need done. The company I used to work for we had 8,000 staff at 5 sites world wide.

bump.
Friday we just migrated a domain to our server with 32 User accounts.  I have to log into each user account and manually set the calendar for 24 hours for 7 days.. This amounts to 32 users x 18 clicks per account to turn this on, 

or rather 576 clicks and quite a bit of time.

Would like to see a propagation option for this.
