Creating employee-specific hourly targets

Prev Next

In this guide, you will learn how to create, edit and delete employee-specific lesson goals in Koho. The goals help to monitor the employees' accumulated hours and possible flexitime. This instruction discusses the objectives for recording lesson hours.

  3. Editing time tracking goals

  4. Removing time tracking goals

  5. Tips and considerations


1. What are time tracking goals and who can set them?

Timesheet goals determine how many hours an employee should log each day. They are particularly important for tracking flex, and without them, flex cannot be calculated.

  • Goals can only be set by the administrator

  • Goals are defined for each employee

  • Goals are visible in the user's settings and affect reporting


2. Setting time tracking goals

In stages:

  1. Go to Settings → Users section

  2. Open the Work hours tab

  1. Click the Term button to add a new target period

  1. Configure the settings in the window that opens:

    • Hours / day: e.g. 7:30

    • Term: start and end date

    • Time (optional): The times of day when hour entries are expected

  2. Daily selections:

    • Select the days of the week that the goal applies to (e.g. Mon–Fri)

    • Tick "No midweek holidays" if you don't want goals for midweek holidays

  3. (Optional) Specify from the start of use: Targets take effect from the employee's start date in the Koho system

  4. Select your employees:

    • Singly

    • The whole team at once

    • All users at the touch of a button

  5. Press Save.

✅ After this, the goals are displayed on the "Hour goals" tab in the employee's user settings and affect the flexitime tracking.


3. Editing Time Tracking Goals

The goals are not directly edited – instead, new goals are created on top of the old ones, using the same instructions as in step 2.

🔁 If goals no longer work (e.g., they appear on public holidays when they shouldn't), it's a good idea to delete and recreate the old goals. See point 4.


4. Removing Time Tracking Goals

Goals can be removed by setting 0 hours/day for that period:

  1. To create new lesson goals, press Period

  2. Set:

    • Hours/Day: 0

    • Define the period for which you want to remove goals (you can set the end date far in the future)

  3. Be sure to also select:

    • The days of the week for which you want to remove targets (including Sat–Sun, if necessary)

    • Deselect "No midweek holidays" if you want to remove midweek holiday goals as well

  4. Select the employees and press Save.


5. Tips and considerations

  • Koho's midweek holiday calendar only works correctly if the goals are set no more than 2 years ahead from the present.

  • If goals start appearing on public holidays, recreate them as described in step 2.

  • Use the Team and All options to update goals for multiple users at once.
