How do I assign a recurring rest day?

When you assign a rest day on the Work shifts grid, you can set it to repeat automatically. This way you don't need to enter the rest day one by one for each collaborator.

  • Recurrence is set up in the same panel where you assign the rest day.

    1. Go to app.humand.co and open Work shifts.
    2. Click the + button and select Assign rest.
    3. In Collaborators, select one or more people.
    4. In Date, choose the first rest day.
    Menu of the + button in Work shifts with the options Assign shift, Assign rest and Assign template
    Assign day off panel with the Collaborators, Date and Recurrence fields

  • In the Recurrence block, check Repeat day off. The day off is assigned automatically based on the frequency you configure. In Repeat you can choose:

    Option What it does
    Every day Assigns the rest day every day starting on the chosen date.
    Every week Repeats it on the same day of the week.
    Every 2 weeks Repeats it on the same day every two weeks.
    Every month Repeats it once a month.
    Monday to Friday Assigns it from Monday to Friday.
    Custom Lets you define the exact frequency.
    Repeat dropdown options, from Every 2 weeks to Custom

    If you choose Custom, the Customize frequency block appears. There you set the Frequency (for example, Daily) and how often it repeats in Every (for example, every 1 day).

  • In End repetition you choose until when the rest day repeats:

    • Never: it repeats indefinitely.

    • After X times: it repeats a set number of times and then stops.

    • On a specific date: it repeats until the date you choose.

    Below the field, the panel shows a text that summarizes the configuration, for example: "This day off repeats every day, indefinitely."

    End repetition dropdown options: Never, After X times and On a specific date

  • Under Holidays, check Include holidays if you want the rest day to be assigned when the day is a holiday as well. If you leave it unchecked, holidays are skipped.

    When you're done, click Assign. The rest days are added to the grid for all the selected collaborators, based on the configured recurrence. Use Clear to reset the form.

Rest day recurrence works the same way as shift recurrence: same repeat options, same custom mode and same options to end the repetition. For more detail, see How do I add recurrence to a shift?

Setting up recurrence on rest days reduces the data entry work and keeps the shifts grid up to date automatically.
