Business Hours

Business hours define when your support team is available. SLA policies configured with “business hours” mode only count time during these hours.

Configuration

  1. Navigate to Settings > Business Hours
  2. Set your timezone
  3. For each day of the week, toggle it on or off and set start/end times

How business hours affect SLA

When an SLA policy uses business hours time mode:

  • The SLA clock pauses outside business hours
  • A ticket created at 16:00 on Friday with a 4-hour first-reply target is not due until 12:00 on Monday
  • Weekends and off-hours do not count toward SLA deadlines

When a policy uses calendar hours, the SLA clock runs 24/7 regardless of business hours.
