Working Hours & Breaks

Last editetd on 13 June 2026
For each staff member you define on which days and at which times they are available, and when they take breaks.
Setting Working Hours
- Open the staff member under JoomBook → Staff
- Switch to the "Working Hours" tab
- By default all weekdays are active - use the Day off toggle to switch off the days the staff member does not work
- Enter Start Time and End Time for each active day
- Click Save
Use "Use Location Opening Hours" to adopt the opening hours of the location; use "Apply first row to all days" to copy the times of the first day to all other days.
Setting Up Breaks
Breaks prevent bookings during certain time windows (e.g. a lunch break). Breaks are located in the same "Working Hours" tab - there is no separate Breaks tab:
- Click "Add Break" on the desired weekday
- Choose the break times (From / To)
- Multiple breaks can be added per day
SlotEngine: JoomBook automatically calculates all free time slots based on working hours, breaks, existing bookings and service buffer times. You do not need to create time slots manually.
