Time Off Planner

Time off requested by employees that are scheduled using MVS can generate relief shifts when a request has been approved (this process is similar to the results of a book-off transaction). The request also creates corresponding locks on the MVS shifts that are involved in the pending time off requests, as well as cancellation requests.

To enable this feature, set the /system/modules/timeOffPlanner/PLUGINS registry parameter to "es-mvsTimeOffPlannerPlugin". This setting enables the MVS-specific relief generation feature.

MVS can also display long-term absences (LTAs) created in the Time Off Planner. The LTA time codes are shown in the ASV and Staffng Center. The MR and OTS detect LTAs as conflicts when trying to assign shifts to employees with LTAs in the date range of the shifts.

The Staffing Center allows a central scheduler to view an employee’s current LTAs and future LTAs when assigning open shifts.

Schedulers using the ASV and the Relief Call Area (RCA) can view an employee’s LTAs when the employee is placed on LTA from MR or OTS.
