Working rules
Set your personal timezone and night-work tracking
Keep your personal display timezone separate from optional organization-level night-work tracking.
1. Set your personal timezone
Timezone is a personal display preference for the signed-in user. It is not an organization-wide Working Rule and changing your timezone does not change another manager's timezone.
Choose the timezone that should be used when ElShift presents local dates and times to you. Use a complete IANA timezone such as Europe/Helsinki when the control requests a timezone identifier.
Do not use the Working Rules master toggle to manage timezone. Advanced Working Rules and personal timezone are separate settings.
2. Configure night-work tracking separately
Night-work tracking remains organization-level Advanced Working Rules configuration. Organization Admins can enable the advanced rules when the organization needs those controls and set the recurring night-period start and end times.
A night period whose end time is earlier than the start time continues across midnight.
3. Keep the two concepts separate
- Personal timezone controls how local dates and times are presented to that signed-in user.
- Night-work tracking is organization-level configuration used for working-time context.
- Changing one does not silently rewrite the other or alter another user's display preference.
