Set up Service Hours

A handful of settings decide how hours are approved, how time is rounded, and how the module estimates the value of donated time. You set them once, and every entry follows suit.

Open Settings

Open Settings from within the module. Each area is a card you open to edit. A strip across the top shows the current state at a glance: Service Hours, Approval, Rounding, Check-in, and Hourly value.

The settings that matter most

General

Turn the module on or off and set the name staff see for it in the nav.

Approvals

Decide whether hours need approval before counting, and whether staff-entered hours auto-approve.

Hour behavior

Set the rounding rule, turn check-in and check-out on or off, and set how long an open check-in can run before it gets flagged.

Linking to other work

Choose whether hours can attach to Activities, Trips, and Rentals.

Reporting defaults

Set the estimated volunteer value and per-kind compensation defaults.

Estimated volunteer value

Open Estimated volunteer value to set an hourly rate. Reports then multiply approved volunteer hours by that rate and show the result. It is the number you entered, not an official or published rate, and it is not payroll.
