How to define different shift timings for each weekday in Zoho People?

How to define different shift timings for each weekday in Zoho People?

Hi everyone,

We’re using Zoho People for attendance tracking and need to configure a standard 39-hour workweek that is structured like this:

  • Monday to Thursday: 8 hours per day

  • Friday: 7 hours

Currently, our service provider has set up the workweek as a single shift with a daily average of 7.48 hours/day to match the 39 hours/week total.


This leads to several problems:
  • Incorrect overtime calculations, especially on Mondays–Thursdays when 8 hours are worked, but only 7.48 are expected

  • Incorrect vacation hour deductions, since Zoho subtracts 7.48 h per day instead of 8 h for Mon–Thu and 7 h for Friday

  • Employees appear to have worked overtime when they’ve simply done a normal 8-hour day

When creating a new shift under Shift Configuration, I only see one single "From–To" timing that applies to all weekdays. How can I enable or access the “Custom shift timings per weekday” feature in the shift settings?

We are using Zoho People with admin privileges. Both Attendance and Time Tracking modules are currently enabled.

Thanks in advance for your help!
