Workday Length, Calendars & Hour Balance
The current hour balance can always be seen in Silverbucket's Timesheet view or the Flextime report.
User's hour balance is calculated based on three values found in the Person's Dashboard:
- Employment Start Date
- Workday Length
- Active calendar
Silverbucket's basic equation for calculating any user's hour balance:
User's Registered actual hours - Days worked * Workday Length
(Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from active calendar are not taken into account)
If you or your colleague change the workday length in Silverbucket the hour balance will most likely show an incorrect value; this is because the hour balance is always calculated with the same logic. If you wish to change the workday length for some user starting from a specific date, please contact our support with the following information and we'll take care of the rest:
- Whose workday length changes (person's name or email)
- What's the new length of the workday (for example 7,5 hours -> 6,0 hours)
- When the change takes place (specific date such as 1st of February)
Working only 80% or 60% of the normal 37,5 hour or 40 hour work week is becoming a bigger trend year by year; especially for employees that are close to their retirement age.
