Add or Edit a Work Pattern

Work Patterns:

  • are used to specify what days an employee works and how many hours they are expected to work on that day
  • are used to determine whether a day is a normal day of work when requesting leave
  • can be used if your employee works set shifts every week (1 week, Monday to Sunday), or works rotating shift patterns (Rotating multi week)

Note: The Work Pattern does not replace the hours on the Timesheet Template page.
