TABLE OF CONTENTS



What is a Rest Day?

  • A rest day represents your regular non-working day(s) based on your employment agreement or roster plan.
  • It is not the same as paid leave, public holidays, or sick leave.
  • Incorrect selections may cause delays for payroll and scheduling.


How to Add Rest Days

  1. Open your monthly timesheet. Click “+ Rest Day”.


2. Select the day(s) you want to mark as rest days. Click “Save”.


Example:
If your contract specifies Monday–Friday work, select Saturday and Sunday as rest days.
If you do not follow a Monday-Friday workweek, you can select the corresponding rest days.
If your agreement doesn’t specify, follow your manager’s roster instructions.


Visual Indicators

  • Days marked as rest days will appear with a blue background.
  • You can still enter working hours on these days if needed.



Important Notes

  • The “+ Rest Day” button only appears on dates the system recognizes as rostered rest days.
  • If you don’t see the option, it means that date isn’t configured as a rest day in your contract.


Troubleshooting

If you cannot add a rest day:

  • Confirm you have Manager-level access to edit timesheets.
  • Clear your browser cache or try an incognito window.
  • If the issue persists, contact Horizons Support.


How to Remove a Rest Day

  1. Click “+ Rest Day” again.
  2. Unselect the previously marked day(s).
  3. Click “Save”.
