Set regular working hours

Weekly hours repeat in the business time zone. Set them for each practitioner, including separate shifts when there is a break.

Before you start

Know the business time zone and each practitioner’s actual hours. Setup initially creates Monday–Friday hours.

  1. Choose the practitioner

    Open Settings → Practitioners → the person’s Hours link.

  2. Add a shift

    Under Add hours, choose Day, Start time and End time. Save the shift. Add separate non-overlapping shifts for split days.

  3. Replace old hours carefully

    Review existing shifts. If you need to replace one, remove that shift and add the correct hours. Do not delete appointments to change the working week.

  4. Check a complete visit

    Preview a service on a normal working day. Its duration, preparation/cleanup and add-ons must fit; use Dates for one-off changes.

What success looks like

Normal weeks show the intended hours, with breaks and full appointment duration respected.

If it doesn’t work

These hours overlap an existing shift

Review the existing shift, remove the one being replaced, then add the corrected range.

One date still looks wrong

A date-specific closure, replacement shift, block or exact-start rule can change that day. Open the practitioner’s Dates settings.

Still not resolved?
