Work schedules & time off

A work schedule describes the recurring hours you work for a client — for example, 9:00 AM for 8 hours, Monday through Friday. Schedules are optional, but adding one unlocks helpful features.

Why add a schedule?

• Live earnings — the Home dashboard can show money accruing in real time.
• Smart defaults — new time entries pre-fill the hours you were scheduled to work that day.
• Goal projections — Goals & Obligations can estimate contributions from your scheduled work.

Building a schedule

On a client, open the schedule builder and define one or more recurring blocks:

• Quick picks — one tap for common patterns like Mon–Fri, Every day, or Weekends.
• Day toggles — fine-tune exactly which days of the week the block applies to.
• Start time — when the block begins.
• Duration / rate — how long it runs and, optionally, a rate that differs from the client default.

You can add several blocks to model real days — for example, a morning block and an afternoon block split by an unpaid lunch, or an overtime block at a higher rate.

Time off

Schedule exceptions capture one-off interruptions to the routine — vacation, sick time, or any unpaid gap. A time-off entry carves its hours out of what you'd otherwise be scheduled (and earning) that day, so your live earnings and pre-filled hours stay accurate.

Effective dates

Schedule blocks can carry start/end dates, so you can enter a future raise or a schedule change ahead of time and it will apply only from the date you set.
