My Staff
Provides information on the status of the employees on the manager's team, based on notification bar functionality for My Employees. These status categories are shown:
- At Work: Lists employees whose
current clock status is ON regardless of their schedule. By default, employees that
are on break (employees whose last recorded clock is a time code clock with a time
code flagged as a break) are considered to be at work and, therefore, are included in
this category. The BREAKS_ARE_ABSENT registry parameter can be configured to exclude
employees from this category while they are on break.Note: The break logic does not apply to employees that clock OFF/ON for their breaks (instead of using time code clocks) because an OFF clock is ambiguous. The system cannot determine, for example, whether an OFF clock occurring at 2:45pm represents the start of a late lunch or the fact an employee has left early for the day. Such ambiguities are left to the manager to resolve.
By default, non-clocking employees are excluded from this category. The INCLUDE_NONCLOCKING_EMPS registry parameter can be configured to include non-clocking employees in this category during their scheduled times. Non-clocking employees never qualify as absent.
- Absent: Lists employees whose
current clock status is OFF during their scheduled work times. If the
BREAKS_ARE_ABSENT registry parameter is TRUE, then employees whose most recent clock
is a break-related clock are also included in this category during their scheduled
times. If an employee is on break outside of their scheduled time, they are not
displayed in this category.
Employees on full-day leave are not expected to work and, therefore, are not included in this category. If an employee is on a partial-day leave (for example, they took the morning off), they will only show up in this category if they fail to come to work for the afternoon portion of their shift (once their morning leave has concluded).
- Scheduled: Lists employees who are scheduled to work within the next 8 hours and who are not currently at work. This category also includes employees currently on partial-day leave who are expected to come to work later today. Employees working a split shift can be displayed simultaneously in both the Scheduled category and the At Work or Absent category. For example, an employee scheduled to a split shift of 9:00 to 13:00 and 18:00 to 22:20 who is working as of 10:30 will be displayed in both the At Work category (for their current shift) and the Scheduled category for their shift later that day.
Employees that have a temporary team assignment to the manager's team as of the current day are also displayed. The employee's home team is displayed below their name.
To help supervisors determine where an employee might be and when they are supposed to be at work, additional information is provided in an expandable section:
- Employee's last clock (including the time, type, and any associated clock data)
- Local time in the employee's time zone (the server time is displayed if the employee does not have a configured time zone)
- Employee's local time zone (if configured)
- Employee's schedule information for the previous day (if it overlaps into the current day), current day, and the next day
Using these controls, users can contact their employees by phone call, text, or email:
- Call: To call an employee, the employee must have mobility phone or home phone contact information configured. Otherwise, this control is disabled. If the employee has both, then the user selects the contact method (mobile or home) to use before initiating the call.
- Text: To text an employee, the employee must have mobility phone contact information configured. Otherwise, this control is disabled. When using text, the device's default SMS application is used.
- Mail: To email an employee, the employee must have email address
contact information configured or access to Workmail (have an active user account).
Otherwise, this control is disabled. If the employee has both, then the user selects
the contact method (email or Workmail) to use before composing and sending the email.
When using the employee's configured email address, the device's default email
application is used. Note: For Workmail to be an available contact option, the security group of the logged-in user must have EDIT permissions to the MOB_HOME_STAFF maintenance form and have Act permission to the ACTION_MYMESSAGES_ALLOW_COMPOSE element on the MOB_HOME_WORKMAIL maintenance form.
