- **Attendance tracking**: Enable or disable attendance tracking for employees
- **Time tracking thresholds**: Percentage thresholds for marking time tracking as "good" or "bad"
- **Default working hours**: Default start and end times for employees
- **Time tracker reminders**: Interval in minutes for reminding users to track time (5-120 minutes)
- **Sprint configuration**: Sprint duration in days, start day (1=Monday), and end day

**Validation rules:**
