Setting up your individual working hours

Working hours affect your utilization and your timesheets. By default, your user profile will reflect your company's default working hours when your account is created. Forecast Admins manage the company's default working hours, however you can update your individual user profile with your actual working hours, if your work schedule is different than your company's default schedule.

Understanding Working Hours

Working hours affect your timesheets and your utilization.  

Working Hours and Timesheets

In regards to your timesheets, depending on the number of hours you told the system you are expected to work each day, you will also have that amount as that day's cap. 

• If you have 8 working hours in a day, then in your timesheets you would be expected to log 8 hours for that day.
• If you do not meet the target for that day, it will subsequently affect the sum of hours for that week.
• If your company utilizes Timesheet Approval and Missing Timesheet Reminders, you may receive notifications generated by the platform, your Manager or your Admin if you do not meet your week working hours total. 
• At the end of the week a warning will appear on the timesheets warning you about the lack of hours.
• If no working hours are set on a particular day in the settings, the day on your timesheet calendar will appear as greyed out, meaning you are not expected to register time during that day.

Working Hours and Utilization

Working hours affect how many hours you and your team members are available to work each day. This means the My Schedule and People Schedule heatmaps and your manager's Utilization reporting depend on your daily/weekly/monthly available working hours, which comes directly from your user profile.

• My Schedule and People Schedule may or may not include weekends. This is controlled by your Admin. 
• If My Schedule/People Schedule includes weekends, the days will appear with grey striping, even if you have working hours set for Saturday or Sunday in your profile. 
• Weekdays (Monday through Friday) that do not reflect working hours will appear as Time Off in My Schedule/People Schedule.
