Setting standard work hours

You can set the standard number of hours your staff logs on every scheduled workday. If your organization has different expectations for different days of the week, you can set each day's standard hours separately.

Scheduling holidays

You can schedule holidays or any other specific dates your staff will not be working. For example, assume your organization plans to take a day off for a staff retreat. You can add this date as a holiday as far in advance as you like. When processing time entries over multiple days, the dates you enter will be skipped automatically.

Your staff holiday is added to your calendar. Saved holidays appear grayed out and cannot be selected when adding time or expense entries.
