How to Set Rules for Employee Availability and Scheduling

Key Settings

• Hours Per Day – Set the maximum number of hours an employee can work in a single day for a position.
• Hours Per Week – Set the maximum number of hours an employee can work in a week for a position.
• Overtime Settings – Define when overtime applies based on daily or weekly hour thresholds, including rules that may restrict or flag employees from picking up additional shifts once overtime limits are reached.

These settings help ensure employees are scheduled within your organization’s labor rules and prevent over-scheduling when using the auto-generation tool.

They can also support compliance with local, state, and international labor laws, including regulations around maximum working hours, overtime eligibility, and required rest periods.

By combining availability settings with position-based hour limits and overtime rules, SubItUp can generate more accurate and compliant schedules automatically.
