Beyond Monday to Friday
A fortnightly cycle or alternating days should not need a separate spreadsheet. Define the cycle and resolve the appropriate working day for the date being planned.
Working Patterns
Represent the way your team actually works.
Define normal working days and hours, including repeating multi-week patterns, with templates for common arrangements.
Register interestManage changes over time
Effective-dated assignments allow a new working arrangement to begin without treating it as if it had always applied. Check transition dates when changing a contract.
Keep contracts and shifts distinct
A working pattern describes the normal arrangement; a rota shift records scheduled work. Together they support leave calculations and contracted-hours visibility without assuming they are identical.
