Set the default working pattern
Description

Every payroll has a default working pattern. Each employee in the payroll is assigned to this working pattern by default. However, you can override working pattern settings within an employee's record.

The Standard Working Week working pattern ships with Sage Payroll, and is set as the default automatically. It specifies the most common set of working days and working hours.

If you need to, you can set a different default working pattern if Standard Working Week is not suitable.
