A default schedule is created for you when you sign up for Built. The default schedule is Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. New people added to your company are automatically assigned to the default schedule. If needed, you can adjust the default schedule and/or unassign specific employees. You can also create additional schedules and assign/unassign individuals for each schedule.

To edit an existing schedule and/or assigned individuals:

Note: Only Company Admins and HR Admins can configure company settings. To learn more, refer to: Understanding User Roles & 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 NAME checkbox to select/deselect all people, or assign/unassign specific individuals using the checkboxes provided.

    Note: You can also assign individuals from their profile page by clicking the Job tab then clicking the Edit button in the Employment Details section. 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. When viewing the Schedules tab of the Settings page, click the + Add Schedule button.

  2. Enter the schedule's title.

  3. Configure the appropriate office days and hours.

    Note: For each office day, you can set a start time, end time, and number of work hours that should equal. The total hours for the day are editable in case you have an unpaid lunch break during the day. An 8:00 to 5:00 schedule could equal 9 hours, or if an unpaid lunch hour is calculated, it could equal only 8 hours.

  4. Click Save. Once saved, you can assign individuals or edit the schedule as needed.

Note: 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. To learn more, refer to: Effects of Changing a Schedule.
