With setup times, you can set a specific number of minutes for employees that Timebutler subtracts from or adds to the working time.
If, for example, employees start the time clock and then first have to change into their work clothes, and you do not want to count this changing time as working time, set a deduction via setup times. Timebutler then subtracts this time from the working time entries.
If, on the other hand, changing into work clothes counts as working time but employees can only start the time clock afterwards, use setup times to automatically increase the working time.
Timebutler only applies the setup time deduction or increase on calendar days with at least one working time entry. If there are multiple working time entries on a workday, Timebutler still applies setup times only once, not multiple times.
Configure setup times
You can view or change the setup time setting by logging in to Timebutler as an admin and clicking Settings > Working days at the bottom left. In the rightmost column, under Setup times, you see the setting for each employee. To edit the setting, click the blue Edit button for the desired employee.
If you want to set or change setup times for many employees, you can do this conveniently via the bulk change of working time models.
You can also view setup times in the detail view of a user account.
Setup times in the working time account
The deduction or increase of working time due to setup times appears in the working time account, Overtime balance as of the cut-off date view.
