Location Settings

After you add a new Location to your account, you will be prompted to review or update the Location's settings. You can also find these settings later by going to the 7shifts logo > Locations/Departments/Roles and selecting the Location from your list of Locations.



From there, you will need to review the following tabs:

1. General

In the 'General' tab, enter your street address, Location name, and timezone.

2. Hours of Operation

These times should reflect the working hours of the Location, not necessarily the Open and Close times for customers.

• In the 'Hours of Operation' tab, enter the earliest shift's start time and the latest shift's end time for this Location.
• Check the 'Closed' box to indicate the days that your business is closed. 

3. Holidays

In the 'Holidays' tab, you can choose to enable holidays, then select the specific holidays you would like to apply to the Location.

• Once you enable holidays, you will see a list of default holidays based on your country setting (verify this by going to your profile picture > Company Settings > General > Country).
• You can then select which holidays you want to enable, and decide whether to apply a wage multiplier.

⚠️ If have Holidays enabled, but you don't want a holiday to impact the scheduled wages, enter '1.0' as the wage multiplier. 

4. Custom Holidays/Events

To add your own holidays or events:

• Simply click on 'Add custom holiday'.
• Click 'Save' when you are done.

5. Shift Feedback

Here you can access/enable Shift Feedback, which allows Employees to submit feedback on how their shift went via a push reminder.

⚠️ To access the Shift Feedback feature, you must be on The Works plan or higher.
