Rule: Minimum Hours Per Shift

This rule sets the minimum hours that an employee must work in a single scheduled shift.

Overview

A shift is defined by the scheduling module (LFSO, MVS and RTSS) implementation. Schedule compliance follows the same shift definition as the module that generated the schedule.

This rule counts only the scheduled hours of a single continuous shift, and does not sum the scheduled hours of multiple shifts in a single day. Each shift is independently validated against the Minimum Hours Per Shift rule value. For example, if an employee is scheduled 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and then again from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM and the minimum scheduled hours value is set to 4, schedule compliance does not return a violation because both shifts meet the 4 hour value.

Violation Area

Violations count against the appropriate shift.

Example

An example would be to require the number of scheduled hours to 4 for each shift.
