# Create Work Schedules for Your Team

Work schedules are the key feature in clockin for accurately tracking your employees' working hours. They define the planned working hours of each employee and enable precise calculation of overtime a

## Here’s how:

1. Go to the employee’s profile and switch to the **Work Time Management** tab.
2. Click the button + **Assign Work Plan** in the top right corner.
3. A new window will appear. Click on the blue link **Create new Plan** in the bottom left corner.
4. You’re now in the *Edit Work Plan view*, where you can configure the plan individually.

Below you can find an example of a work schedule that can be used to represent a classic 40-hour week. This is just one option - you can flexibly customize and individually configure work schedules as needed.

1. **Name your plan**: A clear name helps keep things organized.
2. **Set the start date**: Define when the date the plan should be valid (☝️Usually the 1st of the new month)
3. **Choose the Working Time Rule**: For our example, we select **Daily Working Time**, which is the most detailed option in clockin. It lets you define the target working time for each individual day.
4. **Choose the Break Regulation**: In this example, we use **Only subtract stamped breaks**,\
   meaning only breaks that are actually recorded will be subtracted.
5. **Enter Target Working Hours & optionally define a timeframe**:\
   Next, enter the number of target hours for each workday. In our example, the employee works 8 hours from Monday to Friday. We also define a *flexible time frame* (this step is optional). In our example, the employee can work anytime between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

   To set this up:

   * Hold down the left mouse button and drag a bar over the desired time frame (e.g., 8:00–18:00).
   * A dropdown will appear – select **Flexible time** from the list.

   Finally, enter “8 hours” as the target time for each weekday from Monday to Friday.
6. Don’t forget to click Save!

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://gitbook.clockin.de/english/getting-started-with-clockin/einrichtung-fuer-admins/en-schritt-4-arbeitsplaene-erstellen.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
