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 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.
