Shifts

A shift describes a working pattern: when it starts, when it ends, and what counts as a break. Nothing in attendance means anything until shifts exist — "late" is only measurable against a start time.

How to…

Create a shift

1. Select Create Shift.
2. Give it a name and a short code (AM, PM, OFFICE).
3. Set the start and end times, and the break window if unpaid breaks apply.
4. Choose the type: fixed (everybody starts at the same time) or flexible (a window inside which the person may start).
5. Save.

Give a whole team the same shift

Open Team shift assignment, choose the department and the shift, and apply. Everyone in that department inherits it, including people added to the department later.

Give one person a different shift

Open Individual shift assignment. An individual assignment beats the team assignment for that person, which is how you handle one person on nights while their team works days.

Notes

• Overnight shifts (for example 22:00 – 06:00) are supported; the end time simply falls on the next calendar day.
• Changing a shift's hours affects future evaluations. To re-evaluate days already recorded, use Recalculate timesheets on Attendance settings.
• A shift is a pattern. Which person works which shift on which day is the work schedule.
• Late penalties are attached to shifts — see Late penalties.
