Supervisor setup

Although system administrators can set up employees to use the Weekly Timesheet, there are tasks supervisors can perform to ensure their employees can use the timesheet. Before employees can use the Weekly Timesheet, they require a schedule of start and end times and a planned worked assignment, called a default labor allocation.

Employee schedules are automatically created from their shift pattern, an ordered list of shifts that employees are scheduled to work. Shift patterns include all the shifts and days off that consist of a complete, repeating cycle.

Default labor allocations specify what tasks employees work on, and for how long, during the week. The amount of time employees work against specific metrics such as jobs, projects, and departments is tracked.

As a supervisor, you can perform these tasks to ensure your employees are set up to use the Weekly Timesheet:

1. Find appropriate shift patterns.

   System administrators create shift patterns to reflect the different schedules that employees work. To assign the appropriate pattern to an employee, you must view the details of the existing shift patterns.

   See "Viewing existing shift patterns" and "Viewing existing shifts" in the Infor Workforce Management Time and Attendance Implementation and Administration Guide.

2. Assign shift patterns to employees.

   See "Assigning schedules" in the Infor Workforce Management Time and Attendance Implementation and Administration Guide.

3. Verify default labor allocations.
