Creating a full shift action
If budgeting for shifts, your administrator may set up your application to budget for full shifts (base pay together with shift premium) or for shift differentials (base pay tracked separately from shift premium).
When budgeting for full shift, the hours or FTE on the Base Salary action must be set to zero so that base salary is not double counted. Hours or FTE for the shift must be specified with the shift action.
To create a full shift action
- Open the Position Assignments page.
- Click for the position for which you are defining an action.
- Click the Actions tab.
- From the Assign New Action list, select the shift premium action.
- For hourly positions, specify whether you want to enter Hours or FTE.
- For the Base Salary row, in the Hours or FTE column, specify zero (0). This is so the base salary is not double counted.
- For the shift premium action row, in the Hours or FTE column, specify the appropriate value. For example, 40 if you are specifying hours.
- Optionally, specify the shift premium amount.
- Click .
Example
| Action | Start Date | End Date | Hours | FTE | Amount | Percent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base Salary | 1/1/2013 | 10 | ||||
| Shift Premium | 1/1/2013 | 40 | 1 | 2 |
Base Salary: Amount = $10, Hours = 0
Shift: Amount = $2, Hours = 40
Calculated Base Salary = $10 * 0= 0
Calculated Shift = ($10 + $2) * 40 = $960
