Examples

Example Configuration

The following examples use this configuration setting:

Max Hours Allowed: 8

Example 1 - Violation (long shift)

Employee A is scheduled to work:

• Monday 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM
• Tuesday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
• Wednesday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
• Thursday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
• Friday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Schedule compliance returns a violation because Monday's shift exceeds the 8 hour limit.

Example 2 - Pass (multiple shifts/day)

Employee B is scheduled to work:

• Monday
  • Shift 1- 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM
  • Shift 2- 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM
• Tuesday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
• Wednesday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
• Thursday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
• Friday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Schedule compliance does not return a violation. This is because this rule only applies to individual shifts and neither of these shifts (Shift 1 = 4 hours, Shift 2 = 6 hours) is longer than the maximum number of scheduled hours specified by the rule (8).

Example 3 - Violation

Employee C is scheduled to work:

• Monday
  • Shift 1- 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM
  • Shift 2- 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM
• Tuesday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
• Wednesday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
• Thursday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
• Friday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
• Saturday 8:00 PM - 6:00 AM

Schedule compliance returns a violation for the Saturday shift; even though the shift passes into the next day and the next week, all hours of a shift are associated with the day that the shift starts.

Example 4 - Pass (DAY_WEEK_STARTS)

Employee D is scheduled to work:

• Saturday 8:00 PM - 6:00 AM
• Monday
  • Shift 1- 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM
  • Shift 2- 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM
• Tuesday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
• Wednesday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
• Thursday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
• Friday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Schedule compliance does not return a violation this week. However, schedule compliance will return a violation when you view the previous week for the Saturday shift.
