Change employers without changing past records

When you change employers, create a new WorkTimes account. This keeps the previous employer’s entries, work schedules, absence settings, and overtime calculations unchanged.

Create the new account

1. Open the overview menu (•••) and choose All Accounts.
2. Tap Add Account.
3. Enter a distinct employer or job name.
4. Set up the new regular hours, absence durations, working breaks, and any fixed times.
5. Leave the existing overtime balance at zero unless you intentionally want to carry one over.
6. Tap Finish.

If you keep the same account

You can instead create a new work schedule with a Valid from date for the new job. Do not edit the old schedule, because that would recalculate earlier entries. A separate account is safer when the change occurs partway through a weekly or monthly calculation period.

Warning: If the new job uses a different daily, weekly, or monthly calculation period, create a new account. Do not change that setting on the existing account.

Start the new job with a zero balance

To keep the account but reset its balance, create an overtime adjustment dated one day before the change. Reduce a positive balance or add the missing time to offset a negative balance, and add a note explaining the employer change.
