Work schedules, shifts and the roster工作班表、班次与排班
Say what each person's working week looks like, so leave counts the right days and the clock-in page has something to compare against.写下每个人的工作周，让请假只扣真正要上班的日子，打卡页也有可对照的基准。

Until now Hull knew when your staff clocked in and nothing about when they were *supposed* to. That made two things impossible: a leave form that could work out which days in a range actually cost somebody leave, and an attendance page that could show a shift alongside a punch.
HR → Shifts & Schedules is where you tell it.
1. Write down your shifts
A shift template is a name and two times: *Weekday 13:00–21:00*, *Saturday morning 08:00–13:00*. Write down the handful your academy actually runs. You will reuse them everywhere else on this page, so getting the names recognisable matters more than getting them exhaustive.
2. Build a weekly pattern
A schedule category is one working week, and each day in it is one of three things:
| Off | Not working. Leave skips this day, and the attendance page expects nothing |
| A shift | Working those hours, every week |
| Rostered | Working, but which hours varies — you say per date on the roster |
Most academies need two or three categories: full-time, part-time weekends, and whatever the third shape is. Name them after the people, not the hours — *Full-time coach* reads better in six months than *Mon–Fri 13–21*.
3. Put people in a category
Assign each person the category that fits. One person can be given their own arrangement, and where they have one, their setting wins over the category's. Leave policies follow exactly the same rule, so it is one thing to learn rather than two.
4. The roster, for the days that vary
Roster is the per-date view, and it is only needed for people whose pattern says *Rostered*. Set somebody's shift for a date and it repeats weekly from then on until you say otherwise — so a roster is a handful of decisions, not a grid you fill in every week.
What it changes elsewhere
Leave takes a range now. Because Hull knows your off-days, the leave form can ask for a first and last day and work out which of them actually cost you leave — skipping your own off-days and your branch's public holidays. That used to be a list of tickboxes for exactly this reason. See Apply for leave.
The attendance day shows expected against actual. The shift somebody was on, beside the hours they really clocked. See Check staff attendance.
Unpaid leave can be divided by real working days. When the owner sets the unpaid-leave rate, one of the options is the working days in that person's own schedule for that month — which is fairer than a flat divisor when a full-timer and a weekend coach are on the same payroll.
If you do not set any of this up
Nothing breaks. Leave keeps working, clock-in keeps working, and the attendance page simply has nothing to compare a punch against. This is worth an hour when you have staff on genuinely different weeks, and worth skipping if everybody works the same days.
