Your country's rules, loaded from day one
Zeprub isn't built for a single country. When you sign up, you choose yours and Zeprub loads its rules as starting values: it uses them to split hours, warn you about long schedules and keep the vacation balance. If something doesn't apply to your company, you change it.
Which rules are loaded
Each company has its own rules, starting from its country's:
- Night hours: from what time to what time hours count as night hours
- The weekly hour limit, so Schedules warns you if a schedule goes over it
- Vacation days and every how many months they're earned, for each employee's balance
- The country's official holidays, plus the ones your company adds
- The number and date format
If your country doesn't have rules loaded yet
Zeprub starts with general values and the getting started guide asks you to review them. You adjust them once with your accountant and Zeprub uses them from then on.
The rules are a starting point, not legal advice: review them with your accountant before using them for pay.
