If you have schedule groups, one of the options when applying schedule group limits is to specify the number of work hours per month for full-time employees. If you enable this, the system will consider monthly work hours as a limit when creating shifts for employees.
If a shift manager adds a shift to the schedule for an employee that takes them over this limit, a warning appears so they can decide on how to proceed with the shift schedule.
You can set these maximum hours either in the schedule group's limits settings or within the Work hours setting if you've enabled it. The benefit of the Work hours settings is that you can provide flexibility in entering hours for each month for the next three years.
If you want to base the maximum hours on work hours, follow the steps below.
