# Setting Work Schedules

A default schedule is already set up within your Built account, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., which is automatically assigned to people added to your company. If needed, you can adjust the default schedule and/or unassign specific individuals. You can also create additional schedules and assign or unassign individuals for each schedule.

## To edit an existing schedule and/or assigned individuals:

*Only Company Admins and HR Admins can configure company settings. Learn more about* [*managing user roles and permissions*](/v1/docs/managing-user-roles-and-permissions)*.*

1. Click your company name at the top of the main navigation, then click **Company Settings**.
2. Click the **Schedules** tab.
3. Click the dropdown next to the schedule, then click the appropriate option:
  - **Edit**: Make the appropriate changes, such as editing the schedule title, selecting/deselecting office days, and adjusting the daily hours.
  - **Assign Schedule**: Use the provided checkboxes to select or deselect the appropriate individuals.

*You can also assign individuals from their profile page by clicking the* ***Job*** *tab, then locating the* ***Employment Details*** *section, and clicking the* ***Edit*** *button. Click the* ***Schedule*** *dropdown to select the appropriate schedule, then click the* ***Save*** *button.*
4. Click **Save**.

## Creating Additional Schedules

You can add as many schedules as needed. For example, if your company has a day shift and a night shift, you'll want to create two schedules.

### To create an additional schedule:

1. On the **Company Settings** page, navigate to the **Schedules** tab, then click the **+ Add Schedule** button.
2. Enter the schedule's title.
3. Configure the appropriate office days and hours.
4. Click **Save**. Once saved, you can assign individuals or edit the schedule as needed.

*Changing a schedule can impact PTO requests and timesheets. For example, when a person submits a PTO request, the number of hours requested will be based on their assigned schedule. If your organization uses our Timesheets feature, the schedule will also determine the number of scheduled hours displayed on the timesheet.
