In Timebutler, you can, with a few clicks, schedule an employee to switch the working time model on a specific date. This is necessary, for example, in the following cases:
- The employee changes the [Weekly working days(/time-tracking/working-time-models/weekly-working-days/) (for example: “Until May 14 weekly working days Monday to Friday, from May 15 Monday to Thursday only”),
- The employee changes their [Target working hours(/time-tracking/working-time-models/target-working-hours/), for example due to a reduction in working hours,
- The employee changes location and different [Public holidays(/set-up/holidays/assign-holidays-to-employees/) apply to them from a certain date.
- Due to a change in the employment contract, new rules apply from a specific date for [Capping overtime(/time-tracking/working-time-models/capping-overtime/), for [Rounding working hours(/time-tracking/working-time-models/rounding-working-hours/), or [Setup times(/time-tracking/working-time-models/setup-times/)
Add change
To set the working time model to change on a specific date, follow these steps:
Sign in to Timebutler as an admin and click “Settings > Working days” at the bottom left. For the desired employee, click the “Edit” button. Now click the blue “Add new period” button. At the top in the “Valid from:” field, enter the date from which the change should apply. You can now make, at the top, the settings for weekly working days, target working hours, public holidays, etc., that should apply from the specified date.
Then click the blue “Save” button at the bottom.
That’s it. You now see the overview of weekly working days again, and for the employee you just changed you now see multiple periods. Timebutler has recalculated all leave requests, absence entries, the leave balance, and the working time account of the employee in the background.
Create multiple periods
With the process described above, you can add only one new period. However, you can of course add multiple periods. To do so, create a new period according to the steps above. Then repeat the process and create another new period, again according to the steps above.
