Working time models and rest periods
You can use working time models in TimeTac to map your company's various working time regulations.
This article explains how to create and configure working time models.
How to create a new working time model:
1Navigate to Settings and select Work schedules. You will see the working time models currently available.
2Click on the blue button Add work schedules.
3You will now be asked to enter a name for the new working time model. Confirm this by clicking on Create. The newly created model appears in the list of working time models.
4To configure the new working time model, click on it. The name of the model will be highlighted in blue; on the right-hand side you will see the detailed settings for the selected model.
5Working time models contain various information that is important for the evaluation of timestamps. You can configure the selected working time model in the detailed settings on the right-hand side.
6Working day: Specify which days of the week are counted as working days in the Working day column. If a particular weekday is a regular working day, tick the relevant checkbox.
7Hours (decimal): In this column, you can enter the target hours per working day - either type the value manually into the desired field or use the small arrow buttons at the edge to increase or decrease the value. You can enter the hours as whole numbers or as a number with one decimal point. Click on Update to save your changes.
8Maximum working hours: You can define the permitted maximum working hours per day or week. If this limit is exceeded by users, a warning appears in the timesheet.
9Rest periods: Here you can enter the minimum duration of the daily and weekly rest period in hours.
10Click on the Update button below Rest periods to save your entries.
It's that easy to create working time models!
The working time models are assigned to the individual users via the People submenu, which can be found in the Settings menu.
Of course, you can not only create new working time models, but also change existing models. However, please note the following: subsequent changes to working time models (e.g. changes to target hours, changes to working days) lead to a retroactive revaluation of the tracked timestamps. "Retroactive" here refers to the period from which the working time model was valid for the respective user (i.e. from the date "Working time model applies from").
