Special day rates

Give special-day shifts their proper place

A Saturday shift can look identical to a Tuesday shift in a basic time log, even when the pay arrangement is completely different.

HoursKit helps you account for weekend and public holiday rate rules in the same place as your hours, so a period total reflects the shape of the work you actually did and stays easy to explain later.

What you can do with HoursKit

Keep weekend and public holiday rate assumptions with the jobs and shifts they affect for a more complete pay estimate.

Make weekend work visible in the estimate

Set a weekend multiplier when Saturday or Sunday work follows a different arrangement from weekday hours. The shift remains part of your normal calendar, while the special rate detail explains why two similar weeks can produce different estimates.

This suits hospitality, care, retail, on-call work, and any schedule where the day of the week matters as much as the number of hours.

Keep public holiday assumptions close to the shift

Use a public holiday multiplier for the days you want your record to treat as special. The public holiday shift has a visible place in the total alongside its job, time, and other rate rules.

That makes a busy public holiday week easier to understand without reconstructing the difference from memory.

Use different rules where the work differs

A job can follow the default special-day settings or keep its own arrangement. That matters when one role pays a weekend premium and another does not, or when a client contract uses a different rate.

Each shift stays connected to the rules you selected for the job it belongs to.

See special shifts beside the rest of the week

Weekend and public holiday rates appear alongside regular hours, overtime, double time, and a night differential in your pay summary. You can see how a special-day shift affected the whole period.

That makes it simpler to discuss a rate, compare the period with payment information, or decide which shifts need a closer look. A month with several public holidays stays readable even when ordinary weekday hours make up most of the schedule.
