The main function of setting up an employee's working hours is to ensure that salary proration is calculated accurately. Setting up working hours will also enable time tracking for the selected work group. On the same page, update **the actual working hours** and define **the start** and **end working time.**  
   
Step 1 - Go to **HR Hub** \> **Workgroups**  
Step 2 - Select **Workgroup**  
Step 3 - Click **Edit settings**  
Step 4 - Scroll to **Working hours for tracking time**  
Step 5 - Set working hours by defining the **work start time and end time**  
Step 6 - Define **Day start time**  
Step 7 - **Save**

**Note:** 

- **Flexible working** hours refers to a schedule that allows employees to start and finish their workday with flexibility. This means that employees can come to work earlier or later than the set time
- A **fixed** work schedule is a timetable that generally consists of the same number of **hours** and days worked per week. **Fixed** work schedules tend to stay consistent in the number of **hours.**
- Kindly take note that your work hour **start time must be at least 2 hours after the day start time** and the work hour end time must be at least 2 hours before the day start time.

**Scenario**:   
Your work day starts at 8.00 am and Rachels' (your employee) shift starts at 9.00 am. If she comes early to work and clocks in at 8.50 am, her timestamp will be shown that she stamped in today.

   
Now that you've set up the working hours, you can now proceed to [enable Time Tracking](https://help.swingvy.com/knowledge/step-2-enable-time-tracking?hsLang=en).
