▪︎ Contracted work schedule

You can set different contracted work hours by day of the week. Based on the entered schedule, shifts will be auto-assigned up to the end of the next month.

• Weekly contracted working hours: Total of all contracted hours you set for each weekday.
• Work days : Select which days are considered working days. Non-selected days will be marked as day-off.
• Contracted working hours : Daily working time pre-agreed by the employee and company.
• Available punch-in time range :• The latest available punch-in time will be used to auto-assign shifts through the end of the next month. The schedule is then updated daily based on actual punch-in records.
  • If the employee clocks in during the available time range, the schedule will reflect the actual punch-in time.
  • If they clock in after the available time, the schedule will reflect the latest available time.
  • If they clock in before the available time and the policy allows early punch-ins, the schedule will reflect the earliest available time.
• Workplace : Choose from registered workplaces.
