This setting impacts the beginning of the week on the dispatch calendar, all user calendars, date selector calendars, date ranges on standard reports like the Workload Report, dynamic date filter options on dashboard widgets, Executive Dashboard, and project calendar display. The only exceptions are the timesheet and the date filter calendar on LiveReports, which will continue to display Sunday as the beginning of the week.

Use this set if your company does not want to use holidays. Click the drop-down menu and select an existing holiday set for this internal location, or click the plus icon to define a new one. Refer to Managing holidays and holiday sets.
TaxJar Nexus (only if the TaxJar integration is enabled)	If your company has an economic nexus in a state or province, you may have to collect sales tax on sales in that state. Generally, an economic nexus exists if you have offices, employees, or inventory in the state. However, in many states an economic nexus is created if you have a certain level of sales, a certain number of transactions, or a combination of both. For an excellent overview of the current situation, refer to Sales Tax by State: Economic Nexus Laws. If you do business in multiple states and want TaxJar to treat a state as an economic nexus, do the following: Create an internal location for the state, even if you do not have offices, employees, or inventory there. Select the TaxJar Nexus check box. Click Save. Autotask will validate that a country is selected, and the state is entered using the 2-character state name. NOTE  By default, the state where your primary internal location is located is an economic nexus.
Hours tab
Business Hours Start and Business Hours End	For each day of the week, enter the time when normal business hours at this internal location will start and end. If this internal location is closed on a particular day, then leave the hours fields blank. To assist with the application of different billing rates to time entries created outside of these hours, you can use After-Hours Work Types. Refer to After-Hours Work Type. NOTE  If no business hours are associated with an internal location, they are assumed to be 8 AM to 6 PM.
Extended Hours Start and Extended Hours End	Extended hours are scheduled hours when your company provides customer support before or after normal business hours. If your extended hours start before your business hours, enter that time here. If you offer extended hours only at the end of the day, set the Extended Hours Start time to the Business Hours End time. If you set extended hours for a given day, you must have regular hours specified for that day or the extended hours will be ignored. EXAMPLE  If your business hours are 8:30 am to 5:30 pm and emergency support is available until 12:00 am, your extended hours are from 5:30 pm to 12:00 am.
Use normal hours on holidays	Select this option if your regular business hours (business and extended, when applicable) apply to holidays, as well. The Holidays row in the table will be grayed out. NOTE  With this setting, any business hours on holidays will be considered regular time for the purposes of After-Hours Work Type time entry calculations. Refer to After-Hours Work Type.
Use hours specified in table on holidays	Select this option to specify custom hours for holidays, or to leave the hours blank to indicate no holiday hours. NOTE  With this setting, any business hours on holidays will be considered regular time for the purposes of After-Hours Work Type time entry calculations. Refer to After-Hours Work Type.

NOTE  Internal location business hours are the default for service level agreements (SLAs) associated with the internal location, but can be edited for individual SLAs. Refer to Establishing business hours for service level agreements.
