The engine automatically splits the shift into 4 hours on Saturday night and 8 hours on Sunday morning.

Questions About Automated Midnight Shift Rate Splitting [2026]
How does AsanWork handle a shift that starts on a Sunday evening and ends on a Bank Holiday Monday?
The system applies Sunday night pay and charge rates from start time until 23:59:59, then automatically applies Bank Holiday rates from 00:00:00 until clock-out.
Can we configure different split hours for different clients?
Yes. While calendar days split at midnight, you can also define custom unsocial windows (e.g. Night hours from 20:00 to 06:00 or 22:00 to 07:00) per client rate card.
How do split shifts appear on client sales invoices?
Invoices display clearly itemized sub-lines showing Saturday night hours and Sunday morning hours, eliminating client confusion.
