Overview of Module ‘Roster’

Module ‘Roster’ let’s you define work plans for locations, departments or employees. This help document gives you an overview of module ‘Roster’.

When a work plan is defined for a location, all departments and employees in the location inherit the plan. But, you can redefine the work plan for a department or an employee. Similarly, when a work plan is defined for a department, all employees in the department inherit the plan, but, you can redefine the plan for individual employees.

‘Shift’ allows you to define work plan for a day.

The plan may include multiple breaks.

‘Overnight Shift’ let’s you define work plans that overlap midnight.

‘Shift Planner’ let’s you assign Shifts against a location, department or employee for a period.

Shift Planner makes it easy to define work plans.

‘Shift Import’ allows you to import work plans from an excel file.

As you can see, the shift data is imported against individual employees.

With ‘Shift Detect’ the system automatically identifies the shift the employee is working on from a pool of shifts.

This feature is useful if the employees switch shifts very often, or if it’s inconvenient to allocate shifts to employees up front.

Multi Shift allows you to define multiple work plans for a day. For example, you have a Morning, Afternoon and Night Shifts on the same day with each shift attended by a different group of employees.

Multi Shift Pattern allows you to define how an employees work plan is rotated during a period.

For example, a set of employees working on Morning Shift today works in the Afternoon Shift tomorrow, and in the Night Shift the third day and then they have a day off; and this rotates for ever.

Similarly, a set of employees working on Morning Shift this week works on the Afternoon Shift in the second week, the third week they come back to the Morning Shift and this rotates for ever.

Multi Shift Planner allows you to define multi shift plans for a set of employees for a selected period.

Module ‘Roster’ let’s you define work plans for every single employee with ease. The graphical interface in Attendance plots work plans and actual work times together, and splits the work time as ‘Late In’, ‘Early Out’, ‘Overtime’ and so on.
