Setting employee schedule

1 min read By TimeOff Support

Setting up an employee schedule is essential for automating PTO calculations and ensuring accuracy in leave management. For example, if an employee works a four‑day week and books a week off, the system deducts only four days from their allowance.

To manage an employee’s schedule, go to Employee Details → Schedule.

Schedule tab location

Enter Edit mode.

Edit mode

Then select the standard hours for each workday. Choose the working days and specify the length of a full day. When finished, press Save changes.

Set standard hours per day

Sometimes you may need to set a different schedule for a specific period (e.g., a seasonal schedule). To set a temporary schedule:

  1. Go to Employee Details → Schedule.
  2. Press the + button to add a new schedule.
  3. Set the start date and adjust the required hours.
  4. Press Save.
  5. Create another schedule for when the special schedule ends to ensure a smooth transition.
