Why does this happen?
In Atlas Scheduling, shifts always appear in the day with the most hours.
By default, you most likely put your organization's opening hours from midnight to midnight, which is normal. This reasonable practice causes an issue here if you're used to creating shifts in the day that they start and not the day with the most hours.
Example
Your opening hours are from midnight to midnight.
You have a shift from 10:00 p.m. on Thursday until 6:00 a.m. Friday.
Since the majority of the shift falls on Friday, the shift will appear in the schedule on Friday.
Since we need to create the shift in the day with the most hours, we need to create this shift on the second day for it to be displayed as you'd expect on the employee side.
If you want to make it easier, you can also change your opening hours to make it more intuitive for your organization.
By changing your opening hours from 4:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m., you can then create the shift on the first day since there will be more hours in the first day: six hours from 10:00 p.m. Thursday to 4:00 a.m. Friday, which counts as the same workday, compared to two hours from 4:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. Friday.
How to change this setting
Click Scheduling > Settings > Scheduling and change the Schedule opening and Schedule closing hours.
Important: Your pay period cut-off time must be the same as your opening hours. You can update this in the general settings by clicking Scheduling > Settings > General. Ensure your first day of workweek and cutoff time are accurate.
Note: You can view and edit the start date of the night shift on the employee's timesheet, too:
