# 💡How to configure and implement staff schedules in Zon?🤔
### Creating Staff Shifts and Schedules in Zon Staff Management:
**Zon Staff Management** enables you to efficiently **create and manage** staff **shifts** directly from the **Schedule tab.** You can **schedule shifts** for **individual employees** for **a day, a week, a month or an entire year,** depending on your **operational needs.**
### How to Create a Shift:
**Navigate to the Schedule Tab:**
* From the **Zon Staff Management** dashboard in your **Shopify admin,** click on **Schedule** in the left-hand menu.
**Select the Date Range and View:**
* At the **top right**, choose your **preferred date range** (**weekly, monthly or yearly view**) to organize your **scheduling.**
**Add a Shift:**
* **Hover over** the **cell** corresponding to the **staff member** and the **day** you want to **schedule a shift.**
* Click the **+ icon** that appears.
**Fill in Shift Details:**
In the **Create Shift pop-up window:**
* **Staff:** Confirm the **staff member’s name** (or **pre-selected based on your cell choice**).
* **Location:** Select the **store or outlet location** where the staff will work.
* **Date:** Choose the **date for the shift.**
* **Start at / End at:** Enter the **shift start** and **end times** (e.g., 09:00 to 17:00).
* **Breaks: Optionally, add break periods** by specifying b**reak start** and **end times** (e.g., 13:30 to 14:30).
* **Repeat Shift:** **Check the box** if you want this **shift** to **repeat for the rest** of the **week, month or year.**

Once all **details are entered**, click **Create Shift** to save the schedule.
**Once saved**, the **shift** will be **created** for the **selected time period** based on your configuration.
**Note:** Before scheduling shifts, ensure that **holiday settings** are properly configured in the Settings tab. This helps avoid assigning shifts on designated holidays.
