How Do I Set a Custom Work Week?

Some or all of your users may have a custom schedule (instead of the usual 8 hours a day; Monday to Friday), which means you may need to customize their working week(s). You can do so by customizing the working week and even their working day length.

Need both — different days and different hours?
To customize both the working week schedule (Monday–Sunday) and the workday length (number of hours worked) for each user, see How Do I Set a Custom Workday Schedule?

Customize Just the Working Week

If you'd like to solely customize a user's working week (Monday–Sunday) — just toggling which days are working days, without touching the hours-per-day — follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Vacation Tracker Dashboard — app.vacationtracker.io/signin.
  2. On the left-hand side of the dashboard, click Users.
  3. Once the page opens, click on the user's name or picture to enter their profile.
  4. On the user's profile, scroll down to the Working Days section and click Edit on the top right-hand corner of the section.
  5. A new pop-up will open where you will be able to edit the workweek and set the working days for that user.
  6. If you are only looking to edit the working week, click Update and you are done!
Edit Working Days pop-up on the user profile with the Monday–Sunday day toggles and the Update button
Example: Jean is very lucky to have Monday and Friday off along with the weekend! So we only check-mark Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday as her working days.
Want to change hours-per-day too?
If you also need to set custom hours for each working day (e.g., 10-hour shifts instead of 8), turn on the Enable Working Hours Schedule toggle at the top of the same pop-up — see How Do I Set a Custom Workday Schedule? for the full flow.
