Activating Time Registration for Users

Before you can record hours, the feature must be enabled for you as a user.

This can only be done by an Organization Administrator.

Go to ChurchDesk Settings.
Click on Users.
Select the desired person > Actions > Edit Time Registration.
Enable time registration.
If needed, set an initial time balance (e.g., +2 hours overtime or -1 hours negative hours).

What is meant by "original time balance"?

This field does not include the average weekly working hours.

Instead, it includes the employee's specific hour balance at the time of their creation as a user in the time tracking system.

This serves as a reference point for the future calculation of their hour balance.

Examples:

If, at the time of their activation in the time tracking system, the employee has worked a total of 7 hours "too much" (overtime), fill this field with "7".
If, at the time of their activation in the time tracking system, the employee has worked a total of 7 hours "too little" (i.e., they have a time deficit), enter "-7" in this field.
If, at the time of their activation in the time tracking system, the employee has worked exactly the number of hours they were supposed to work, enter "0" in this field.

Note: This balance cannot be changed later. (However, individual users can register more or fewer hours on a given day to adjust their balance. Adding a comment is recommended.)
