How do I create shifts in the timetable?
Shifts define your team's working hours: their clock-in and clock-out times and, if needed, the breaks assigned during the working day.
In Sesame, there are two ways to create a shift, depending on how often you plan to use it:
-
Shift template. Ideal if you'll be using the shift on a recurring basis or across several of the company's timetables. You can create it from Configuration or directly from the timetable. See this article for the step-by-step guide.
- Custom shift. Perfect for a schedule on a specific date that won't be repeated. You can assign it directly from the timetable, even to a specific employee. See this article for the step-by-step guide.
