When you\u00a0add a shift<\/a> and do not manually enter the shift “helped hours” (duration), it is “auto calculated” – meaning that the paid hours for that shift are set to be the exact time between the start and end time. For example, 8am to 5pm would be auto calculated to be 9 paid hours.<\/p>\n

Sometimes if there is break time between when helpers come in and leave (ex. a break or lunch) you will want to manually enter that shift’s helped hours. The Auto Calculate check box is defaulted to On, but if you enter a number, it will not be automatically calculated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can manually add in the hours when you add a shift<\/a>, or later you can do this quickly for a number of shifts or view how the shifts are all set using the\u00a0Multi-Shift Edit schedule view<\/a>\u00a0or the\u00a0Grid View using Bulk Edit<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the\u00a0Multi-Shift Edit\u00a0<\/strong>schedule view<\/a>\u00a0Multi-Shift Edit<\/strong> view, if you see “ac” next to the\u00a0 hours, this means that it was automatically calculated. You can quickly view this information and make changes to a number of shifts’ paid hours on this view and then click the\u00a0Save Changes<\/strong>\u00a0button.<\/p>\n

When you set your shifts’ hours (duration), and in future weeks you Import<\/a>\u00a0that schedule or\u00a0Saved Template<\/a>, all of the shifts will already be set to the correct hours. You only need do this once for your initial schedule week.<\/p>\n

You can quickly add this information to multiple shifts using the\u00a0Multi-Shift Edit<\/strong>\u00a0schedule view<\/a>\u00a0or the\u00a0Shift Grid<\/a>\u00a0view.\u00a0<\/p>\n
