Your workweek settings control which days count as working days, what hours employees work, and which time zone applies. These settings affect time off, time reporting, and the information shown in analytics and reports. You can set a workweek at three levels: company, office, and individual employee.

Key benefits

• Set one company-wide standard for working days and hours
• Override the standard for offices that work different days or hours
• Override the standard for individual employees, including part-time employees

How to set the workweek at the company level

Important: You need Admin or Owner permissions to change workweek settings.

The company-level workweek is your company's default. It applies to every employee unless it's overridden at the office or employee level.

1. Go to Company and Company profile in the left-hand menu.
2. Click the workweek and time zone summary near the top of the page (it shows the current time and a row of day circles).
3. In the Edit work week & timezone for Company dialog, set the Time zone.
4. Click the day circles to toggle which days are working days.
5. Set the Start time and End time for each working day. You can add more than one time block per day, for example to account for a lunch break.
6. Save your changes.

Note: These settings affect time off, time reporting, and the information shown in analytics and reports.

How to override the workweek for a specific office

If employees at one office work different days or hours than your company standard, you can set a workweek for that office. This overrides the company-level setting for employees at that office.

1. Go to Company and Offices in the left-hand menu.
2. Click the workweek and time zone summary next to the office you want to update.
3. Adjust the time zone, working days, and hours for that office.
4. Save your changes.

How to override the workweek for an individual employee

If one employee works different days or hours than the company or office standard, you can set a workweek on their profile. This overrides both the office-level and company-level settings.

1. Go to People and Employees in the left-hand menu, then select the employee.
2. Open the Profile tab, then go to Work.
3. Click Workweek.
4. Adjust the working days, hours, or time zone for that employee.

Note: Remember to adjust the workweek for part-time employees, since it doesn't happen automatically.
