When you add a shift and just enter the begin and end time the shift "duration" (paid hours) are "auto calced" (automatically calculated) - meaning that the paid hours for that shift are set to be the exact time between the start and end time. Ex. 8am to 5pm would be autocalced to be 9 paid hours.

Sometimes if there is unpaid time between when they come in and leave  (ex. an unpaid break or lunch) you will want to manually enter that shift's paid hours. The Auto Calculate check box is defaulted on but to if you enter a number it will not be auto calced. 

You can manually add in the paid hours when you add a shift or later you can do this quickly for a number of shift or view how the shifts are all set using the Multi-Shift Edit schedule view.

If you see "ac" next to the duration this means that it was automatically calculated. You can quickly view this information and make changes to a number of shifts' durations on this view and then click the Save Changes button.

When you set your shifts' paid hours then in future weeks when you Import that schedule then all of the shifts will already be set to the correct paid hours, so you only need do this once for your initial schedule week.

You can quickly add this information to multiple shifts using the Multi-Shift Edit schedule view.
