Customize work week

Adjusting task deadlines to match your work week

Tallyfy can automatically shift deadlines so they never land on non-working days or outside business hours. An Administrator configures this once, and it applies organization-wide.

Configuring working days and hours

1. Go to Settings > Organization > Customization.

2. Under Default work week, select your work week length - 7-day, 6-day (Mon-Sat), 5-day (Mon-Fri), or 4-day (Mon-Thu).

3. Under Default Working Hours, toggle each day between All hours (any time counts) or Fixed hours (set a start and end time with the slider).

   

4. Click Save Changes. Tallyfy will use these settings when calculating new deadlines.

How deadlines adjust

If a calculated deadline falls on a non-working day or outside your set working hours, Tallyfy always pushes the deadline forward to the start of the next working period. It never moves deadlines backward. Example: A deadline calculated for Saturday moves to Monday morning (assuming Monday is a workday).

What’s not supported yet

Tallyfy’s deadline calculations use the work week pattern you configure - but they don’t account for:

• Country-specific holidays (e.g., Labor Day, Boxing Day)
• Organization-specific holidays (e.g., company closure days, annual shutdown)
• Person-specific unavailability (e.g., vacation days, sick leave)

Public holiday data coming soon

Tallyfy maintains a dataset of national holidays for 200+ countries at tallyfy.com/national-holidays ↗. A future release will integrate this data into deadline calculations, so deadlines automatically skip national holidays in your country.
