Use this tab to define how some fields within the Personnel and Staff Development modules behave.

Type the number of weeks that an employee on a full-time contract works in a normal year. This value is used as a default when you create a whole time equivalent based on a Weeks Per Year value.

Standard: Hours Per Day

Type the number of hours per day.

NON Working Days

Click and use the Maintain NON Working Days window to define the bank holidays for the current year.  Features such as contracts are not be booked on these dates. The system’s default working pattern for everybody is Monday – Friday, except for bank holidays.

OR Use default Working Pattern

If you do not want to use the system’s default working pattern, select an alternative default working pattern from the drop-down list. The working patterns displayed in the list are those you set up by using Personnel > Terms and Conditions > Working Pattern. You can use them to assign different working patterns to employees. If you do not assign a working pattern to an employee, the system uses the alternative default working pattern you select in this field; if you do not select an alternative working pattern, the system uses its default working pattern (Monday – Friday, except bank holidays).
