Rest hours

Here you set the daily and weekly resting period. The weekly resting period does not necessarily have to coincide with an actual calendar week, but must always occur after a series of working days.

The daily resting period is between two working days while the weekly resting period occurs after a series of consecutive working days.

Between two consecutive shifts, there is a daily resting period, whereas a weekly resting period occurs after a series of consecutive shifts. If this is left undefined, the resulting schedule might not be compliant with the law.

Things to note:

  • For each employee, define the daily and weekly resting period. The values in the "from" fields must be smaller than the values in the "to" fields.

Example:

In the above example, employees must have daily resting periods between 12 and 20 hours long. Their weekly resting periods are set to be between 40 and 80 hours long.
