Employee Assignments

In the MVS, employee schedules are initially created using the employee's default shift (shift pattern) and default labor (if a default job is assigned to the employee). The supervisor loads the schedule, with or without shifts, for team(s) for a specific schedule period to review and, if necessary, adjusts the schedule details before publishing.

The supervisor can perform two types of adjustments to fill any unstaffed shifts and further balance the schedule:

  • Auto-assign employees to unstaffed shifts. For information about auto-assignment, see Auto-Assignments.
  • Manually assign employees to unstaffed shifts. For information, see Manual Assignments.

Auto assignment can only be performed using the Job Requirements, Scheduled Team or Day Parts views.

Supervisors can also clear all employee assignments they have made since the schedule was last published. For information, see Clearing Employee Assignments.
