Defining Working Hours

Working Hours

The Working Hours allows you to define a working pattern that repeats indefinitely, save this as a profile and assign this to employee's.

If various employee's work the same 5 days a week each week, then when defining the working hours we will only have to create Week 1 in our pattern, as at the end of this cycle this will repeat again.

If various employee's work 5 days a week one week and 3 days the next week, and this is a continuous pattern. It is worth while setting up a working hours pattern that has Week 1 and Week 2 defined.

This allows you to define the 5 days for Week 1 and define the 3 days for Week 2. After Week 1 finishes the pattern will roll over to Week 2 and after Week 2 finishes it will cycle back to Week 1.

If various employee's work on a Casual basis with set days each week, we could enter the hours in for each of those days, mark the remaining days as Off, and select the Save button.
