A shift defines
- Clock in
- Flextime
- Fixed break times (up to 3 breaks per shift)
- Clock out
- Flextime
as well as
- Hours for the automatic shift detection
A shift may depend on the weekday. For example, there may be a different clock out on Friday than during the period from Monday till Thursday. So-called day templates can be set up for this purpose and assigned in the factory calendar. The following day templates are created by default
Monday till Thursday
Friday
Saturday+Sunday
These are assigned to the corresponding weekdays in the factory calendar.
This means that for each day template, the times (clock in, clock out) must be entered separately.
Tolerances can be defined in addition. These determine how many minutes before working hours the employee may log in.

A shift has the following structure:
Clock in Core time Clock out
| Tolerance | Flextime | Break1 Break2 Break3 | Flextime | Tolerance |
|----------|-----------|------||-----||-----||----|-----------|----------|
Times outside of these shifts are not considered, i.e. they are cut off.
Flextime
Flextime only has an information function.
Under period rule, there is the additional option to define that the employee can only log on or off during flextime. Flextime is defined in the shift.
Example:
The employees should report for work between 6 and 9 o'clock.
Flextime is defined from 6 to 9 o'clock. 6 o'clock is the earliest clock in.
