Select method for official working hours

BitaBIZ supports 2 methods for setting official working hours.

The 2 offical working time methods are:

  1. Daily official start and end time is entered
    ๐Ÿ’Use this method for staff groups with a fixed work schedule that doesnโ€™t change much.
    โ€‹

  2. Only net hours for the day are entered. โ€“ THIS ARTICLE!
    ๐Ÿ’Use this method for employee groups without a fixed working schedule.
    โ€‹Read more about that method here.
    โ€‹

It is also possible to completely disconnect official working hours from a policy.
๐Ÿ’Use this for hourly paid freelancers or fixed paid employees with an hour bank solution without any managment og standard working hours.

History on official working hours

Itโ€™s important to understand how the system handles changes to working hours:

  • When official working time is changed on a policy or an employeeโ€™s master data card, the historical official working time used on previously saved registrations is retained.

  • The change in the official working hours will only apply to new, future registrations.

  • This ensures that historical working time data is preserved.

Registrations using net hours

Time registration โ€“ without hour bank

Edit todayโ€™s automatically created official working time if thereโ€™s a deviation
