+=================
+Working schedules
+=================
+
+In Odoo, *working schedules* determine the hours employees are expected to work, according to their
+:doc:`contract <contracts>`, and informs the **Payroll** app how to compute work entries, ultimately
+affecting salaries and payslips. It is necessary to ensure all working schedules for employees are
+configured in the database.
+
+.. note::
+   In Odoo's **Payroll** app, *working schedules* are referred to as *working hours* in :ref:`salary
+   structures <payroll/structure-types>`.
+
+To view the currently configured working schedules, navigate to :menuselection:`Payroll app -->
+Configuration --> Working Schedules`, and the :guilabel:`Working Schedules` dashboard loads.
+
+Working schedules are company-specific. In a multi-company database, each company **must** identify
+each type of working schedule they use. If the database is created for only one company, the
+:guilabel:`Company` column is not available.
+
+.. example::
+   An Odoo database containing multiple companies that use a standard 40-hour work week needs to
+   have a separate working schedule entry for each company that uses the 40-hour standard work week.
+
+   A database with five companies that all use a standard 40-hour work week needs to have five
+   separate 40-hour working schedules configured.

+New working schedule
+====================
+
+To create a new working schedule, click the :guilabel:`New` button on the :guilabel:`Working
+Schedules` dashboard. The :guilabel:`Working Schedules` form has two sections, a general information
+section and a :guilabel:`Working Hours` tab listing out all the individual working hours by day and
+time.
+
+Fill out the following information on the top-half of the form:
+
+- :guilabel:`Name`: Type in the name for the new default working schedule. This should be
+  descriptive and clear to understand, such as `Standard 20 Hours/Week`.
+- :guilabel:`Flexible Hours`: Tick this checkbox if employees can work different hours from the
+  working schedule.
+- :guilabel:`Company Full Time`: Enter the number of hours per week an employee would need to work
+  to be considered a full-time employee. Typically, this is approximately 40 hours, and this number
+  affects what types of benefits an employee can receive, based on their employment status
+  (full-time vs part-time).
+- :guilabel:`Average Hour Per Day`: The average hours per day field is auto-populated, based on the
+  working hours configured in the :guilabel:`Working Hours` tab. This entry affects resource
+  planning, since the average daily hours affect what resources can be used, and in what quantity,
+  per workday.
+- :guilabel:`Work Time Rate`: This percentage is auto-generated based on the entry for the
+  :guilabel:`Company Full Time` and the working hours configured in the :guilabel:`Working Hours`
+  tab. This number should be between `0.00%` and `100%`, so if the percentage is above `100%`, it is
+  an indication that the working times and/or :guilabel:`Company Full Time` hours need adjustment.
+- :guilabel:`Company`: Select the company that can use these new default working hours from the
+  drop-down menu. A blank field indicates it is available for all companies.
+- :guilabel:`Timezone`: Select the time zone to be used for the new default working hours from the
+  drop-down menu.
+
+Next, configure the individual hours in the :guilabel:`Working Hours` tab. This tab lists the
+specific working hours for each day.
+
+The :guilabel:`Working Hours` are auto-populated for a default 40-hour work week, with each day
+divided into three timed sections.
+
+Every day has morning (8:00-12:00), lunch (12:00-13:00), and evening (13:00-17:00) hours configured.
+
+.. note::
+   The :guilabel:`Work From` and :guilabel:`Work To` times **must** be in a 24-hour format. For
+   example, `2:00 PM` is entered as `14:00`.
+
+Modify the :guilabel:`Day of Week`, :guilabel:`Day Period`, and :guilabel:`Work Entry Type`
+selections by clicking on the drop-down menus in each column and making the desired selection. The
+:guilabel:`Work From` and :guilabel:`Work To` columns are modified by typing in the time.
+
+.. important::
+   Keep in mind, working hours are company-specific, and **cannot** be shared between companies.
+   Each company needs to have its own working hours set.
+
+.. tip::
+   If the working hours are not consistent each week, and the hours are on a bi-weekly schedule
+   instead, click the :guilabel:`Switch to 2 week calendar` button at the top of the new default
+   working hours form. This changes the :guilabel:`Working Hours` tab to display two weeks of
+   working times that can be adjusted.
