If you would like your shift to be recurring, toggle the Recurring switch. This will reveal additional parameters:

  • Select working days: the days the shift will recur on
  • Repeat options: repeat Weekly or Bi-weekly
  • Repeat until: the day the shift will repeat until

Standard vs Adjustable shifts

WebWork offers two shift types: Standard and Adjustable. The Standard shift uses the same start and end times for all of your selected working days. The Adjustable allows you to set different start and end times for each selected working day.

Attendance settings

When Shifts are enabled for your workspace, you will see the following attendance settings:

  • Change the allowed deviation from the schedule for workspace members.
  • Enable or disable time tracking outside of work hours.

Otherwise, in the Pro plan, where Shifts are not available, Attendance settings are more detailed and apply to the whole workspace.
