Update First Day of the Week for Reporting

Question

How can I change the weekly start day for my Toast Web reports?
How do I change the start of my business week?
My labor report is incorrect. How do I change the start day?
Why are hours different when comparing the labor data in Toast Web and Toast Payroll?

Answer

If you notice that a labor report (i.e. the Time Entries Management report) is incorrectly calculating hours/pay or your weekly email summary is not reflecting the dates you would expect, this may be due to what day is assigned as the start of the week.

In addition, if you're noticing your labor reports calculate overtime before your employees reach their 40 hours, you may need to adjust your first day of the week setting. It's tied directly to your employee pay period.

A Customer Care representative can change the first day of the week to start on whichever day you'd prefer, and can verify your start of the week if you're unsure of what it currently is set to. Contact Customer Care for assistance.

Additional Information

If you also use Toast Payroll, one of the most common reasons overtime calculations in that system can seem incorrect is because Toast Payroll relies on its own work week "start day." Contact Customer Care to ensure both system settings are configured based on your preference.
