Hours modes
- Organization default: uses the default weekly hours from the organization working rules.
- Explicit hours: uses the weekly number entered for this employee.
- Unlimited: removes the employee-specific weekly cap from scheduling decisions.
How hours affect scheduling
Auto-Assign observes the configured weekly-hours rules. A manual assignment that exceeds an employee cap shows a confirmation with projected and allowed hours, so the manager can cancel or proceed deliberately.
Scheduled overtime is a planning metric. ElShift does not calculate legal or payroll overtime.
