How do I customize working days and hours?

Customizing hours and days in a profile

Written by Cipher

You can tailor each profile to match your employees’ actual working days and hours.

To customize working days and hours

  1. Go to Company > Non-working days and holiday profile.

  2. Navigate to the Non-working days and holiday profile you wish to edit.

  3. Click the actions button (usually three dots or a gear icon) next to the profile you want to customize.

  4. Click Update.

How to set working days

  • Use the toggle buttons for each day of the week.

  • Mark a day as “working” if employees are expected to work.

  • Mark a day as “non-working” if employees are not expected to work.

  • Non-working days cannot be booked for vacations or absences.

How to set working hours

  • For each working day, enter the start and end times.

  • These hours determine how vacations and absences are calculated.

  • For example, if you set 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., a full day’s absence will reflect these hours.

Handling exceptions

  • If an employee occasionally works a day that is usually non-working (for example, some Saturdays), mark the day as working in the profile.

  • You can later adjust for exceptions using individual absence requests.
