# Giving an employee an average weekly hours value

## Pshhhh, hourly employees - jamming your labor budget up like usual.

#### *Sometimes they're full-time.*

*Sometimes they're part-time.    
Sometimes they're your boss's cousin-by-marriage's niece who only has to work 13.75 hours a week.* 

#### How can you budget for one-off employees?

Well, I'll tell you.

You can give individual employees an "Average Weekly Hours" value.

1. Navigate to your list of all employees.
2. Click the name of the employee you want to do this for.
3. Click the green "Edit Employee button" and select "Edit Employee Details" from the dropdown.

4. Scroll down until you see **Average weekly hours** field.
5. Enter the number of hours this employee usually works per week.
6. In the top left-hand corner, click the green "Save" button.
