I/ Working days or business days?
The platform calculates leave according to the leave counting method configured for your team: working days or business days. This setting applies to all collaborators within the team.
Working days | Business days |
Correspond to the days usually worked (Monday to Friday). | Correspond to business days (generally Monday to Saturday). |
One full week of leave usually counts as 5 days. | One full week of leave usually counts as 6 days. |
⚠️ Important: If your team uses business days, each collaborator must be assigned to a week structure to ensure leave is calculated correctly.
II/ What are working week structure used for?
A week structure defines the days a collaborator usually works. The platform uses this information to calculate leave accurately.
Week structure are particularly useful for:
part-time collaborators
alternative work schedules
collaborators who do not all work on the same days.
For example, a collaborator who does not work on Wednesdays can be assigned to a different week structure from the rest of the team.
👉 Week structure can be configured from Settings > Time > Week structure.
👉 To learn how to create or edit a week structure, see the article How to Create Custom Weeks for Collaborators?
💡 Good to know:
each collaborator can only be assigned to one working structure
the same working structure can be assigned to multiple collaborators.
III/ Configure a 6-day working structure
💡 If your team uses business days to calculate leave, an additional step is required when creating the working structure.
To do this:
Temporarily select Sunday in your week strcuture.
The "Manual active days" field appears: enter 6.
Activate "Enable Daily limits".
Enter 8 hours from Monday to Friday and 0 hours for Saturday and Sunday.
Save the week structure.
Edit the week structure.
Uncheck Sunday (the value 6 will remain saved even after Sunday is unchecked).
Save the week structure again.
This setup allows the platform to correctly calculate leave using business days, while keeping Sunday as a non-working day in the week structure.
💡 Good to know: don't forget to assign your collaborators to the newly created week structure.
🎉 You now understand how working days, business days, and week structures affect leave calculations.
