Schedule changes

Employee schedules are set in advance using a shift pattern that reflects the employee's typical work week. This section describes how to change employee schedules.

There are several types of changes that can be made to a schedule:

  • Non-elapsed time overrides: Used when an employee works different days or times than scheduled. A non-elapsed time override records any exception to the planned schedule.
  • Breaks: Used to record when the employee takes a different break than scheduled. The Work Start/Stop section of the Weekly Timesheet records any exception to the planned breaks.
  • Full day absences: Used when the employee is absent for an entire day they were scheduled to work.
  • Long term absences: Used when employees are off work for an extended period of time. Long term absences are created to override the employee's schedule with an absent time code until the employee returns to work.
  • Schedule changes: Used if the schedule has to change to reflect a staffing requirement. In the future, the employee is scheduled to work on different days or at different times.
