Adding Work Hours to your account enables you to detail the days and times that your employees are at work. You can add more than one set of work hours to reflect the different shifts that you have.
For example, you may create a standard set of business hours such as Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. Then you may have morning / night shifts or weekend shifts.
You will then assign Work Hours to your employees and other team members via User Management.
Why would I add work hours to my account?
Adding work hours impacts how time is calculated when a user completes a checklist instance where there is a due date, an event, or a delay.
If you do not have work hours set up, then a delay of 24 hours reflects 24 hours of actual time. If you do have work hours set up, and it's formatted that the employee work 8 hours per day, then 24 hours would actually reflect three work days.
In addition it would also ensure that days that the employee is not working, e.g. weekends, days off, public holidays, are not included. This means that only the times an employee is at work are included when calculating a due date & time.
