Before you begin

To edit a working schedule, you must be an administrator with access to the Settings section. Ensure you have the correct schedule details that need editing, such as the shift timings, schedule type, and description.

Step 1: Edit a working schedule

  1. Navigate to Admin > Settings and select the Working Schedule tab.
  2. Find the working schedule you want to edit and click on the three dots (ellipsis) next to the schedule.
  3. Select Edit to open the editing form.
  4. In the Edit Working Schedule form, you can modify the following fields:
    • Name: Change the name of the working schedule (e.g., "Onboard Meeting", "Bi-Weekly Shift").
    • Description: Update the description of the working schedule.
    • Schedule Type: The Schedule Type is not editable after the schedule is created. You can choose between Weekly or Bi-Weekly when creating the schedule, but this field remains fixed during editing.
    • Daily Working Hours: Modify the working hours for each day of the week for Week 1 and Week 2 if applicable.
    • Weekly Total Hours: This field is disabled and automatically calculated based on the working hours entered for each day.
    • Average Weekly Total: This field is automatically updated and reflects the average number of hours worked weekly.
    • Start Date: Update the start date of the schedule.
  5. After making the necessary changes, click Save to update the working schedule.

Weekly Schedule

A Weekly Schedule means that the working hours are the same for every week. Employees will have fixed working hours for each day of the week (Monday through Sunday) and these hours will not change week-to-week.
For example:
  • Monday: 8 hours
  • Tuesday: 8 hours
  • Wednesday: 8 hours
  • Thursday: 8 hours
  • Friday: 8 hours
  • Saturday: 0 hours (Day off)
  • Sunday: 0 hours (Day off)
This schedule is ideal for employees who work the same hours consistently every week.
You can also edit the working hours for each day based on specific requirements, allowing for flexibility within the weekly schedule.
 

Bi-Weekly Schedule

A Bi-Weekly Schedule divides the working hours into two separate weeks (Week 1 and Week 2). The employee's working hours may differ between the two weeks, offering more flexibility.
For example:

Week 1:
  • Monday: 8 hours
  • Tuesday: 8 hours
  • Wednesday: 8 hours
  • Thursday: 8 hours
  • Friday: 8 hours
  • Saturday: 0 hours
  • Sunday: 0 hours
Week 2:
  • Monday: 8 hours
  • Tuesday: 8 hours
  • Wednesday: 8 hours
  • Thursday: 8 hours
  • Friday: 8 hours
  • Saturday: 0 hours
  • Sunday: 0 hours
This schedule is ideal for roles that need a flexible work structure with different hours across two weeks.
You can also edit the working hours for each day based on specific requirements, allowing for flexibility within the bi weekly schedule.
