Periods and week start

Period choices

Choose the week start

The week-start setting changes the labeled seven-day groups. Check the displayed first and last dates after changing it. It does not change the dates or times on a shift, and it is not a declaration of an employer’s pay schedule.

Whole-shift start-date attribution

Each completed shift belongs entirely to its start date and the period containing that date. Its actual end date remains visible. A Sunday 22:00–Monday 06:00 shift with a 30-minute unpaid break contributes 07:30 to Sunday. It does not contribute a second amount to Monday’s period.

This convention also applies at month boundaries. October 31 at 22:00 through November 1 at 06:00 is reported in October when its start date is October 31. No automatic midnight split creates extra records.

Changing the view

Selecting another period does not silently delete saved projects or rewrite shift dates. When preparing a separate card, use a new project or a deliberate copy. Review which shift starts fall inside the new range before exporting.

Date checks

• A date must actually exist; invalid dates are not rolled into the next month.
• February 2028 has 29 days.
• Keep the full end date on overnight and 24-hour shifts.
• Do not duplicate a boundary shift just to make it visible in two reports.
