The Time Planning tool offers you the flexibility to choose the planning tool for each of your employees. By selecting Shift Management, you gain the ability to set the number of rest days from Monday to Sunday.

This functionality is ideal for you if:

• You want the convenience of automatically setting a specific number of rest days per week without manually entering them into the shift schedule.
• Your employees request time off for a future period where you haven't planned the shift calendar yet.

In both of these scenarios, the number of rest days specified in time planning will never be deducted from the employees' time off counters when the employee requests time off.

Where to find the Time Planning tool

1. On your sidebar, head to Organisation

3. Go to Time planning

How do rest days impact time off counters?

Time off counters are used to track the number of days or hours an employee is entitled to take off.

Rest days are not counted when calculating the remaining balance of an employee's time off counter.

If an employee has requested 5 days of vacation and there are 4 set rest days, only 3 days will be deducted from the time off counter.

 

When using shift management for time planning, it's important to know that contract hours are not considered in the calculation of time off allowances.
