🎯 For admins. Also see Getting started – Set up your business.

If you want to change the start day of the week from Monday (default) to another day of the week that aligns with your pay cycle, you can do so by navigating to Settings > Your organisation > General > First day of the week and changing it to your preference.

When changing the start day of your week, you must then navigate to Settings > People > Contract rules and edit the rules start day to match your pay cycle.

Please note:

  • Contract rules and your pay cycle must be aligned to keep track of your employee's scheduled hours accurately. For example, if you choose Thursday as your start day of the week, then you should change the start date of the contract rules to also be a Thursday, sometime in the past.

  • The start day of the week cannot be changed if you use week-based supplements. If you would like to modify this, please contact our support team if the option is disabled for you.
