Work Schedules
Define work schedules — days, hours, and shift blocks — and assign them to one or more employees so MyChronos knows when each person is expected to work.
Overview
The Horaris section is where you define work schedules for your employees: which days they work, what hours, and how many hours per shift. Navigate to /admin/schedules to access it.
A single schedule can be assigned to multiple people — you don't need to configure each employee's hours individually.
Creating a Schedule
Click + Crear horari to open the schedule builder.
Enter a name
Give the schedule a name you can recognise at a glance. For example: 8-hour shift or Split shift.
Choose fixed or flexible
The Flexible toggle controls how MyChronos validates clock-in times:
- Fixed (off) — The employee must clock in within the exact time range you define. Any clock-in outside that range is flagged as an incident.
- Flexible (on) — The employee must complete the required number of work hours, but can clock in and out freely within a wider time window. For example: complete 8 hours any time between 07:00 and 22:00.
Add time blocks for each day
For each day of the week, click + Afegir bloc to define when the employee works. Each block has the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Start / End time | The working window (or the allowed range for flexible schedules). |
| Work hours | Calculated automatically for fixed schedules. Enter manually for flexible ones. |
| Alert | If enabled, MyChronos sends the employee a notification if they haven't clocked in by the expected time. |
| Expected break time | Optional. Lets you compare actual breaks against the scheduled break. |
| Hour type | Used exclusively for Payroll calculations. |
| Block description | A label for the shift, for example Morning shift. |
Copy a day to other days
If several days share the same schedule, use the Copiar dia button on any day to copy its blocks to one or more other days — saving you from repeating the same setup.
Save
Click Guardar i tornar to save the schedule and return to the list.
