## Hours of Operation

Open the Hours of Operation accordion. Times are in the shop's local timezone.

Each day from Monday to Sunday has an Open/Closed toggle and opening and closing times in 30-minute steps. Set Monday, then click **Apply Mon To Tue-Fri** to copy it across the work week. The summary line shows what you have set, for example "5 open days · same hours · closed Sat, Sun".

Shop hours shape the board. The grid runs from opening to closing time, and closed days are skipped when you move between days. A job cannot be dropped outside these hours.

## Pay Period Configuration

Open the Pay Period Configuration accordion. This is used for "Pay Period to Date" on the My hours report.

Choose a Frequency of Weekly, Biweekly, or Monthly. Then set Start Day, or Start Day of Month for a monthly period.

## Save your changes

The status line reads "Unsaved changes" while you edit and "All changes saved" once saved. Click **Save Changes**. You see "Changes saved." on success, or "Changes were not saved" with a **Retry** button.

If you close Settings with edits pending, BayBoard asks "Discard unsaved changes?". If you come back later and see "You have unsaved changes from earlier.", click **Restore** to pick up where you left off or **Discard** to start clean.

<Note>
  When billing is past due, every Settings section is read-only until payment is updated.
