Hours and Days in Time Off Categories
How do I change the default hours per day?
Purpose: To help you understand how to convert your time off balances and history information from hours to days or vice versa. This guide will also teach you how to change your account's default hours per day.
Convert Time Off Categories From Hours to Days
When creating a time off category, you can decide if you want it tracked in hours or days. If you would like to change an existing time off category to track in days instead of hours (or vice versa), go to Time Off in Settings, click Overview, hover over the category card, click the settings menu, and then click Edit Category.
Click Hours, change it to Days (or vice versa), and enter how many hours are in a workday. Once you click Save, the time off category and its associated policies and data will convert to the new unit of time.
Default Hours for Time Off Settings
To set default hours for time off requests, navigate to Settings, select Time Off, and then select Overview. In the top right corner, you will see a small gear icon. Select Default Hours per Day from the dropdown menu. Enter the number of hours for each respective day and click Save.
Default hours will automatically save as "Everyone" for all employees, unless additional default hours are added.
If you have employees with different working hours, you can create flexible default time off hours for these different employee groups to better match all your employees' working hours.
To set additional default hours for time off requests, select Add New Group, add a group name, adjust the hours, select your employees using the filters, and click Save to save your changes.
You can add multiple groups depending on your employees' needs. Employees not assigned to a flexible default hours group will be included in the Everyone/Everyone Else group.
When requesting time off, employees see their default hours automatically filled in but can adjust them as needed.
