Question:

What happens if I change the 'Start Week On' day in 7shifts?

Answer:

Changing the 'Start Week On' day in 7shifts affects how your schedule is displayed and how your workweek is calculated across the platform. Here are the key impacts:

1. Schedule Display: Your weekly schedule view will shift to start on the new selected day. For instance, if you change it from Monday to Sunday, your weekly schedule will now begin with Sunday as the first day.

2. Reporting: Any reports that use weekly data, such as labor cost reports or hours worked, will now align with your new start day. This means the data will be grouped and presented according to your updated workweek definition.

3. Overtime Calculations: If your organization uses specific overtime rules calculated on a weekly basis, changing the start day will directly impact these calculations. Overtime will now be determined based on your new workweek.

4. Employee View: Employees will also see their schedules starting from the new day. This can influence how they plan their personal weeks and view their upcoming shifts.

5. Notifications: Any notifications or reminders set to be sent at the beginning of the week will now be dispatched according to your newly defined start day.
