Go to Global Settings > Time Tracking > Shift Differential.
Select the level for the rule: Company, Group, or Employee.
Configure the rule:
Rule Name: Select or create a name for the differential rule.
Effective Start Date: Choose when the rule begins (a future date), or leave as Immediate.
Track Shift Differentials: Leave checked to enable tracking.
Day Differential or Week Differential: Choose how the system applies differential periods.
Advanced:
Employee timezone or Specific timezone: Select the time zone to evaluate the differential windows.
Has recurrency (optional): Enable if the rule repeats on a schedule.
Click Save.
