Under Settings > Scheduling Rules (Defaults) you define the values that are automatically pre-filled when a new contract or a new scheduling rule is created.

How it works​

This page bundles several groups of default values:

  • Working hours: Daily working hours (target time), overtime threshold (hours/week), guaranteed, minimum, and maximum monthly hours, and the full-time hour count.
  • Scheduling rule thresholds: Max. working days, min. rest days between two work blocks, min. free hours between two working days, max. optimal gap between shifts, max. daily/weekly hours, and max. consecutive working days — the same figures that an individual scheduling rule also defines.
  • Surcharges: Night, holiday, Saturday, and Sunday surcharge in percent.
  • Default working days and weekend: Which weekdays count as working days, whether shift work (early/late/night shifts) is practiced, which days count as weekend, and on which weekday the week starts.
  • Scheduling commands (keywords): The text commands FREE, EARLY, LATE, NIGHT, as well as their negated counterparts -FREE, -EARLY, -LATE, -NIGHT, are configurable here. If a person types these words directly into a day cell in the schedule, Klacks doesn't treat it as a note but as a request: FREE means "avoid scheduling this person on this day if possible," EARLY/LATE/NIGHT prefer or force a specific shift type, and the negated variants exclude the opposite. Both auto-scheduling and the Harmonizer take these requests into account as a constraint.

Good to know​

  • This page maintains global default values — changes only affect newly created contracts or scheduling rules, not retroactively existing ones.
  • The scheduling rule thresholds here are identical to the ones you otherwise set individually per contract — here you're only setting the starting value that a new contract gets.
  • The scheduling commands are hidden by default in the schedule and can be shown via a dedicated icon in the toolbar.
