Employee sort orders

Employee sort orders control how Auto-Assignment prioritizes employees when assigning shifts. For example, an Auto-Assignment group can be configured to give full-time employees priority over part-time employees when assigning shifts. When configuring employee sort orders, it is important to note that Auto-Assignment rules can also determine when a particular shift is assigned to a particular employee. This means that an employee with lower priority may be assigned to a shift over employees with higher priority to satisfy Auto-Assignment rules.

Employee sort orders are added to Auto-Assignment groups through the Employee Order tab. This chapter describes the supported employee sort orders and configurations that are required to use each employee sort order.
