Work Schedules

Work schedules define when and how your teams work. They ensure consistent shift planning, proper break handling, and accurate time tracking across different locations or departments.

A work schedule includes:

• Title: A clear name for the schedule (e.g., “Full-Time Employees”).
• Weekly Availability: Defines working days, hours, and break policies.
• Time Zone: Ensures correct shift timing for your region.
• Breaks Are Paid: Indicates whether breaks count as paid time.

Managing Breaks

Breaks are calculated as follows:

• Break Duration (minutes): How long each break lasts.
• Apply Break After (minutes): When the break is applied during the shift.
• Paid breaks mean employees remain on the clock; unpaid breaks pause wage calculation but still affect shift length.

Time Zone Support

Each schedule must include a valid IANA time zone (e.g., America/New_York). This ensures accurate shift times for distributed teams or locations in different regions.
