# Setting a driver's working hours
## Customize the hours during which a driver can receive auto-assigned tasks. Schedule time off or special hours for holidays.
If you have turned on [task auto-assignment](https://helpcentre.breadstack.com/turning-task-auto-assignment-on-or-off?hsLang=en-ca), you can create shifts for each of your drivers to ensure they only receive auto-assigned tasks when they are working.
Note that you can still [manually assign tasks](https://helpcentre.breadstack.com/assigning-a-task-to-a-driver?hsLang=en-ca) to your drivers outside of their shifts.
1. In Breadstack Delivery, go to **Settings > Drivers **and click on the driver whose shift you want to set.
2. In the driver information panel, click **Shift schedule.**
3. Turn on the **Enable shift schedule **toggle. You'll now see the option to set the driver's [**Regular schedule **](https://helpcentre.breadstack.com/setting-a-drivers-working-hours#regular-schedule)and [**Special hours**](https://helpcentre.breadstack.com/setting-a-drivers-working-hours#special-hours).
#### Regular schedule
This is the driver's default work schedule. Click on each day of the week to set the driver's hours for that day.
- For the days that your driver doesn't work, turn off the **Driver is scheduled to work** toggle.
- If you want the driver to be available for auto-assigned tasks the entire day, set the **Shift hours** to 24 hours.
- If you are setting specific hours for your driver, and you want to block them from receiving new auto-assigned tasks before the end of the shift, you can set a cutoff time under **Pause auto-assignment**.
#### Special hours
If your driver will be working adjusted hours on a specific date or date range, you can set that up here.
- Note that if you set a date range, the shifts you create will apply to all days included in that range.
- If your driver is taking time off, you can use Special hours to set that up. Select a Start Date and End Date, then turn off the **Driver is scheduled to work **toggle.
