Next select the date you want the repeating shift to stop and publish it to see the changes take effect.  ![](https://help.timeero.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-10-2024-07-00-17-9671-PM.png?width=334&height=432&name=image-png-Oct-10-2024-07-00-17-9671-PM.png) If you need to end a repeating schedule before the originally selected end date: 1.

Navigate to the **Scheduling** page on your web portal and then click the **Subscribe** button in the upper right (you cannot not preform this task on your mobile device). 2. Select if you want to have **All Users**, **My User**, or **Specific Users** imported to your personal calendar. 3. Copy the link and paste it into the calendar of your choice. 1. For **Google Calendar** you can do this by clicking the **+** button next to "Other calendars" and select "From URL". Paste the link and click **Add Calendar**. 2. For **Outlook Calendar** click **Add Calendar** and choose "Subscribe from web". Paste the link and then click **Import**. Please note that it can sometimes take 24 hours or more to update your personal calendar with new shifts on Timeero. Unfortunately, Timeero does not have control over how often your calendar will update. ---   ### FAQs ##### My user is in a different time zone, will the scheduled time show correctly for them? When adding a shift it will automatically use the company's time zone, but you can change the selected timezone for a new or existing shift schedule to match the timezone that your employee is in instead. ![](https://help.timeero.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-03-2024-01-30-56-4691-PM.png?width=411&height=81&name=image-png-Dec-03-2024-01-30-56-4691-PM.png) ##### Can I print the schedule? Absolutely! On the web app on the **Scheduling** page, click the printer icon in the upper right corner. This should work for all views - day, week and month - however, you may want to adjust the scale to make sure it fits on your page properly. Going into **More Settings \> Scale \> Custom** and then setting it to "50" should help make sure it fits width-wise on the page. Depending on how many shifts you have, you may need to adjust further. ![](https://help.timeero.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-04-09%20at%2010-15-45%E2%80%AFAM-png.png?width=670&height=371&name=Screenshot%202025-04-09%20at%2010-15-45%E2%80%AFAM-png.png)   ##### How do I tell if a shift has been accepted or declined? You can easily see if an employee has accepted a shift from the **Scheduling** page, there will be a little thumbs up or thumbs down icon next to the scheduled start/end time for each shift. On mobile an accepted shift will have a light green background and a declined shift will be light red. ![approved-declined-shifts](https://help.timeero.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-15-2024-07-11-58-5500-PM.png?width=200&height=133&name=image-png-Oct-15-2024-07-11-58-5500-PM.png)   - [Getting Started](https://help.timeero.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [First Steps](https://help.timeero.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#first-steps) - [Users](https://help.timeero.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#users) - [Jobs & Tasks](https://help.timeero.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#jobs-tasks) - [Scheduling](https://help.timeero.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#scheduling) - [Company Settings](https://help.timeero.com/company-settings?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Main Settings](https://help.timeero.com/company-settings?hsLang=en#main-settings) - [Break Settings](https://help.timeero.com/company-settings?hsLang=en#break-settings) - [Premium Settings](https://help.timeero.com/company-settings?hsLang=en#premium-settings) - [Billing](https://help.timeero.com/billing?hsLang=en) - [Advanced Tracking Options](https://help.timeero.com/advanced-tracking-options?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Auto Clock In/ Out](https://help.timeero.com/advanced-tracking-options?hsLang=en#auto-clock-in-out) - [Timesheets, Mileage & Location Tracking](https://help.timeero.com/timesheets-mileage-location-tracking?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Time & Mileage page on the Web Portal](https://help.timeero.com/timesheets-mileage-location-tracking?hsLang=en#time-mileage-page-on-the-web-portal) - [Entries Tab on the Mobile App](https://help.timeero.com/timesheets-mileage-location-tracking?hsLang=en#entries-tab-on-the-mobile-app) - [Kiosk App](https://help.timeero.com/timesheets-mileage-location-tracking?hsLang=en#kiosk-app) - [Multi-Level Approvals](https://help.timeero.com/timesheets-mileage-location-tracking?hsLang=en#multi-level-approvals) - [Integrations](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [MCP](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#mcp) - [Gusto](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#gusto) - [ADP Workforce Now](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#adp-workforce-now) - [ADP RUN](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#adp-run) - [QuickBooks Online](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#quickbooks-online) - [Zapier](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#zapier) - [Paychex](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#paychex) - [Sandata EVV](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#sandata-evv) - [Paylocity](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#paylocity) - [Rippling](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#rippling) - [QuickBooks Desktop](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#quickbooks-desktop) - [Xero](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#xero) - [PIMSY](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#pimsy) - [Paycor](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#paycor) - [Sage Intacct](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#sage-intacct) - [Viventium](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#viventium) - [BambooHR](https://help.timeero.com/integrations?hsLang=en#bamboohr) - [Reports](https://help.timeero.com/reports?hsLang=en) - [Employee Resources](https://help.timeero.com/employee-resources?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting Started](https://help.timeero.com/employee-resources?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Configure Settings](https://help.timeero.com/employee-resources?hsLang=en#configure-settings) - [Managing Time & Mileage](https://help.timeero.com/employee-resources?hsLang=en#managing-time-mileage) - [Time Off Management](https://help.timeero.com/time-off-management?hsLang=en) - [In-App Messaging](https://help.timeero.com/in-app-messaging?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Message Blasts](https://help.timeero.com/in-app-messaging?hsLang=en#message-blasts) - [Product Updates](https://help.timeero.com/product-updates?hsLang=en) - [Frequently Asked Questions](https://help.timeero.com/frequently-asked-questions?hsLang=en) # Timeero For further assistance, contact our support team: +1 (888) 998-0852 or email us: hello@timeero.com © 2026 by Timeero LLC.
