With Factorial, you have the flexibility to choose whether to consider a shift as belonging to the day it starts or the calendar day it is worked.
Make sure you have already installed the Time Tracking App. If not, Factorial will set overnight shifts to the day the shift started as the default.
How to set up overnight shifts
- In Time, click on Time Tracking
- Scroll down until you find Night shifts
You have two options on how hours should belong to:
- The day the shift started: all hours will be recorded on the same day.
- Their calendar day: the hours will appear in the days to which they belong respectively.

How overnight shifts are displayed in Time Tracking
Whenever an employee works an overnight shift, this will be signified with +1d. Hovering over this will also give more information about when the shift started and ended.
Things to consider:
If an employee clocks in a break after 12 o'clock, it would be divided into two days.
If a shift lasts more than 24 hours after 12 o'clock, the shift will appear in two days. The hours worked are not affected, no additional hours are added or subtracted, the hours are simply divided into two days.
