Companies may sometimes be required to ask their employees to work on weekends due to urgent or critical business requirements. For example, A clothing company may ask its employees to work on weekends in order to meet an increase in demand. If these business requirements are not dealt with immediately then it’s possible that the company will face a disastrous situation. In this scenario, the most important aspect of a business is how to allocate the employees to meet the urgent business requirements on non-working days. OrangeHRM’s ‘Working Weekend’ functionality is a highly useful feature that is fully capable of efficiently allocating the employees who may be based in different locations of the company to work on a weekend. Once defined, the selected weekend day will effectively become a working day.
