Management settings - Default standard hours

As a manager, you have the ability to update your company default Standard Hours by going to "Management" > "Settings" > "Default Standard Hours" (Please follow through the steps below)

Default Standard Hours are used to advise the system which days and what times are considered standard work hours. The system uses this information to calculate the hours required for leave requests.

For example, if your business only worked Monday to Friday 9-5 and employees took a 1-hour break each day, this would be your default standard hours. Any employees working in the business that did differing hours would need standard hours added directly to their profile. The individual standard hours will always override the Default Standard Hours.

How does this default standard hours calculate hours required for leave? In the example above where the standard hours is Mon-Fri 9-5 with 1-hour break each day. If the employee applied for 12 days leave starting on Monday and when through to the following Friday (M, T, W, T, F, S, S, M, T, W, T, F,) the system would ignore the Saturday and Sunday when adding up the leave days as these two days are not part of the employee's standard hours, which in this case (as he doesn't have a personal standard hours) is the Default Standard Hours. Therefore, the employee will only have 10 days worth of Leave Balance deducted.
