Edit Scheduled Shift Times

When the scheduled hours change for the day or several days, use a Shift Edit or similar in concept work code to remove the person from their scheduled shift hours.

The application runs business rules and calculates minimum staffing levels to build the roster for the given date. Because of this, an exception code is needed when a person is released from their regular scheduled hours. Essentially, the exception code captures that transaction and releases the person from their shift assignment and when applicable contribute towards minimum staffing levels.

Examples for Shift Edit work code usage:

  • Suppose an employee is released from their shift assignment that runs from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. to cover a shift shortage spanning from 3 p.m. through 12 a.m. To remove the hours associated with the regular shift assignment use the Shift Edit work code from 6 a.m. through 3 p.m.
  • Suppose an employee is released from their assignment for one week to attend a training seminar for a different set of hours. To remove the hours associated with the regular assignment go to the person’s calendar, select that person’s regular scheduled days and use the Shift Edit work code to release the person from their shift assignment.
  • Suppose an employee is working two overlapping shifts regularly scheduled in Area 1 from 6 a.m. through 3 p.m. and filling a shift shortage in Area 2 from 1 p.m. through 10 p.m. Since the employee is working the entire shift in Area 2 use the Shift Edit work code from 1 p.m. through 3 p.m. in Area 1 to remove these hours.
