You cannot currently set monthly or weekly working hours; you can only set a daily working time for each weekday Monday-Sunday. Instead, proceed as follows, using a mini-jobber with a fixed monthly number of hours as an example:
Sign in to Timebutler as an admin and click at the bottom left on “Settings > Working days”. For the affected user, click the blue “Edit” button in the row.
Enable the working days on which the mini-jobber will (potentially) work, for example Monday to Friday. You must enter the target working time for each enabled day. Because you cannot enter a weekly/monthly working time, you cannot enter the “correct” time here. You also cannot enter 0 h, because the weekday would then count as a non-working day. Instead, simply enter “1 m”, i.e., 1 minute.
On the same page, for the setting “Number of compensated overtime hours per month” select the option “All overtime hours are compensated; neither overtime nor minus hours are carried over to the next month (the overtime balance therefore always equals 0 h).”. Save the change.
That’s it.
In the working time account, the mini-jobber will effectively accrue overtime during the month, because their required time is just 1 minute. However, the overtime is always reset to 0 at the end of the month, so you can ignore that number.
What matters instead is how many hours the mini-jobber worked in that month. You can easily determine this: go to the working time account (top left on “Employees > Time tracking > Working time accounts”) and then click the “Working time in period” button, then click the “Month / Year” button and select the desired month. In the second-to-last column “Hours worked” you will then see the number of hours the employee worked in that month.
