Timesheets | Rules and Functions

1) Overview

The Default Shift Time is a rule that you can set to define a default start and end time for a shift. This can be set up for the whole organisation or only for particular users.

NOTE: The Default Shift Time format is 24-hour time (e.g. 13:00 = 1:00 pm). Setting an end time earlier than the start time will set the end time to the next day.

Using the default shift time is recommended to reduce the time it takes to add shifts in situations where for instance, a staff member may work regular hours each day.

For example "John" may work from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm everyday. You can set his Default Shift Start Time to 11:00, and his Default Shift End Time to 15:00, and when you create the shift in the timesheet, values will default to those set.
