Special hours are all the hours that must be included in accounts different from the usual accounts. The only purpose of the Setup > Accounts > Special hours menu is to create accounts so that they can be available when creating a schedule.

To add a new special hours account, you must:

1.Click on or right-click on the list of special hours and select Add.

2.Enter a Description and an Abbreviation for this special hour.

3.After defining the languages you need, a new Multilingual correspondence button appears at the top right of your screen. With this correspondence table, you can define the equivalent of the abbreviation and description in other languages for the selected account. This means users working in different languages can now use the same account.

4.Indicate the Annual account reset date (DD/MM).

5.Indicate if you wish to have this account in the reports.

6.Indicate whether these hours must be deducted or not from the balance. If you manage balance and you don’t subtract the special hours, you may reward them twice - once as a special hour and once as a balance hours.

7.Activate the To be deducted from normal total check box if you do not want the special hours total to be taken into account in the normal hours total. For example, if a special hours window has been defined in the Saturday's and Sunday's schedules, this window allows you to put all the hours worked on Saturday and Sunday in a Weekend hours account.

8.Follow these instructions to link these special hours to an entity.

9.Click on Save to confirm the creation.
