Employees and availability

Configure employee weekly hours

Choose organization defaults, explicit limits or unlimited hours.

For: Organization Admin
For: Department Manager

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.
