Changing an employee's working days typically refers to adjusting their regular work schedule by shifting the days they are expected to be present and perform their duties. This change may be necessary due to operational requirements, business needs, or individual circumstances.

The Employee Week Days page in the greytHR Admin portal allows you to override the weekdays for your employees. The page displays a list of your employees' overridden weekdays in a tabular format. Normally, Monday to Friday are the working days, and Saturday-Sunday is off days.
The Add button on the page lets you change your employees’ working days individually for a specific period. You can also view the information such as Employee name, From Date, To Date, and Modified Date.

To view the Employee Week Days page, from the greytHR Admin portal, hover over the 9 dots and go to Leave and Attendance > Setup > Employee Week Days.
