Float allows time to be scheduled or logged on any day, including non-working days such as weekends and public holidays.
To schedule or log work on a non-working day, you need to confirm the action with a Yes.
Allocations on non-working days are highlighted with red diagonal lines. This makes it easy to identify work planned outside regular working days.
Capacity and overtime are calculated differently depending on the type of non-working day and whether time is scheduled or only logged.
Work on public holidays that fall on a regular workday
If a public holiday falls on a day the person normally works:
Float opens capacity based on their usual working hours.
Scheduled time is treated like a regular working day.
Overtime is only calculated if scheduled hours exceed daily capacity.
If time is scheduled and then logged, the logged time follows the same rules.
Example:
If someone normally works 8 hours on Mondays:
Schedule 4 hours on a Monday holiday:
Capacity = 8h
Scheduled = 4h
Overtime = 0h
Log those 4 hours:
Capacity = 8h
Logged = 4h
Overtime = 0h
Schedule 9 hours:
Capacity = 8h
Scheduled = 9h
Overtime = 1h
Log those 9 hours:
Capacity = 8h
Logged = 9h
Overtime = 1h
Work on non-work days
If you schedule time on a day when the person normally has zero hours of capacity, for example, their usual weekend:
Capacity remains 0 hours.
All scheduled time is counted as overtime.
If time is scheduled and then logged, the same logic applies.
Example:
If someone normally has Sunday off:
Schedule 4 hours on Sunday:
Capacity = 0h
Scheduled = 4h
Overtime = 4h
Log those 4 hours:
Capacity = 0h
Logged = 4h
Overtime = 4h
Logging time on a non-working day without scheduling it first
In Float, scheduling defines capacity. Logging time alone does not create capacity. If you log time on a non-working day without scheduling it first:
Capacity remains 0 hours
All logged time is counted as overtime
Example:
Logging time on a public holiday that is normally a working day:
Capacity = 0h
Logged = 4h
Overtime = 4h
Logging time on a non-working day (like a weekend):
Capacity = 0h
Logged = 4h
Overtime = 4h
