How to modify overnight hours that starts in the wrong day

What should I do when my overnight shifts are not in the good day?

Why does this happen?

The rule in Rota & Time Clock is that shifts always appear in the day with the most hours.

By default, you most likely put your organisation opening hours from midnight to midnight and that's very logic.

The issue here though is that we are used to creating shifts in the day that they start and not the day with the most hours. Rota & Time Clock works in the 2nd way.

If your opening hours are from midnight to midnight and you have a shift starting on Monday at 10pm and ending at 6 am, the shift will appear in the day where there is more hours. In this example, the shift would appear on Tuesday.

If you want the shift to appear on Monday, you would need to change the opening and closing hours to 5:00 to 5:00.


How to change this setting

You must go under Settings -- Scheduling and change the opening hours.

It is very important that you also change the cutoff time in Settings-- General


Note : On the employee's timesheet, it is possible to view/edit the start date of the night shift
