Job schedules
Some work in HCM Cafe runs in the background on a schedule, such as daily attendance processing and automatic leave credit. Job schedule controls when.
Add a schedule
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name | Optional name. |
| Type | The job to run. |
| Cron expression | When it runs. Use the builder to pick a frequency such as every hour or every day at a time, or type a five-part expression: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week. |
| Timezone | The time zone the schedule uses. |
| Start date / End date | When the schedule is active. End date is optional. |
| Active | Whether it runs. |
Cron examples
| Expression | Runs |
|---|---|
0 2 * * * | Every day at 02:00. |
30 1 * * 1-6 | Monday to Saturday at 01:30. |
0 6 1 * * | The 1st of every month at 06:00. |
Change schedules carefully: a paused job stops attendance processing or leave credit until it runs again.
