Set a Member to Unlimited Working Hours

This article explains how to configure a member as having effectively unlimited working hours by setting a high hours limit in their Visa/Employment profile.

Summary This article provides step-by-step instructions to set a member to unlimited working hours by entering a high weekly or fortnightly hours value (rather than zero), and notes the effect this has on system alerts.

Step-by-step: Set a member to unlimited working hours

  1. Open the member’s profile in the system.
  2. Navigate to the Visa or Employment Details (Visa/Employment profile) section.
  3. Find the field for the weekly or fortnightly working hour limit.
  4. Do not enter "0" (zero). Instead enter a high value, for example "70" hours per week or per fortnight.
  5. Save your changes.

Notes and expected behavior

  • Entering a high hours value (such as 70) in the Visa/Employment profile prevents the system from generating alerts that the member is exceeding working-hour limits.
  • The system interprets "0" as always exceeding the limit, so do not use zero to represent unlimited hours.

Reference

  • For further documentation, see the VISA Exclusion Period – Unlimited Working Hours article in the product knowledge base.

Conclusion To allow a member to work without system hour-limit alerts, update their Visa/Employment profile by entering a high weekly or fortnightly hours value (e.g., 70) and save the profile—do not enter zero.
