What you can do in this activity

 

 

 

 

The “Quick Employee Rota Schedule Mapping” activity allows you to map individual employees to a rota schedule at any time. Although the rota schedules are already created, you can map employees to the rota schedule. Essentially, this activity takes care of situations where new employees need to be fitted into a rota schedule

This activity consists of specifying the employee who will be mapped, and the rota schedule to which the employee will be mapped. The number of the assignment based on which he is mapped must be specified as well, because mapping is assignment-based. Finally, you are to specify the date from which the mapping will be effective. By default, the employee’s mapping will be effective until the “effective to” date of the rota schedule.

Viewing the Details of the Rota Schedule: For the specified the rota schedule, you can view the description of each shift that has been scheduled for the individual days of a given month and year. The weekly offs and holidays applicable for rota schedule during this month and year can be viewed, as well.

Viewing the Employee’s Timetable: You can view the employee’s updated timetable after saving the document, without having to generate the employee’s schedule.

Automatic Incorporation into the Employee-Rota Schedule Mapping: After you save the document and enter the “Employee Rota Schedule Mapping” activity, you will find the employee’s mapping inserted among the other employee-rota schedule mapping records. Find out more.

Can you schedule shifts on holidays?

 

You can indicate whether shifts can be scheduled on holidays, through specifying “Yes” or “No” in the “Create Rota Plan” page. If you allow shifts to be scheduled on holidays, the system will treat the employee’s attendance on the holiday as either overtime or compensatory off. This will depend on what you chose in the “Set Attendance Parameters” page, where you are to explicitly define whether employee’s attendance on a holiday must be treated as

If you do not allow shifts to be scheduled on holidays, any attendance of the employee on holidays will be handled by the stored procedure rules.

Can an employee change his shift timings?

An employee can deviate in shift timings depending on the type of time deviation permission defined for the rota plan from which his rota schedule is derived. The type of time deviation permission could be “Not Allowed”, “With Relaxed Hours” or “With Fixed Hours”.

If the type of deviation permission is “With Relaxed Hours”, an employee can deviate from the timings of his scheduled shift, through one of the following methods:

Employee Time Deviation: Through the “Record Employee Shift Deviation“ activity, a HR person can enter the employee’s deviations in shift timings, for a given date. The deviation can be for

Employee Time Deviation, In Bulk: Through the “Record Employee Shift Deviation - Bulk“ activity, a HR person can enter time deviation, in bulk, for the employees mapped to a rota schedule. Just as in the “Record Employee Shift Deviation“ activity, deviation can be for the shift start time, end time and for the timings of the work sessions and break sessions of which the shift consists.

Employee Self Service: Through the Employee Self service component, an employee can request for a deviation in the start time and end time of his scheduled shift. He can use the following:

The request will come into effect only after the supervisor authorizes this time deviation request. While authorizing, he can edit the following

After the time deviation request is authorized, the update is reflected in the Employee Timetable.

Can an employee switch from his allocated shift?

An employee can deviate in shift timings depending on the type of shift deviation permission defined for the rota plan from which his rota schedule is derived. The type of time deviation permission could be “Allowed” or “Not Allowed”.

If the type of deviation permission is “Allowed”, an employee can deviate from the timings of his scheduled shift, through one of the following methods:

Employee Shift Deviation: Through the “Record Employee Shift Deviation“ activity, a HR person can enter the employee’s deviations in shift for an effective period. The name of the shift to which the employee must transferred is specified, as well.

Employee Shift Deviation, In Bulk: Through the “Record Employee Shift Deviation - Bulk“ activity, a HR person can enter shift deviation, in bulk, for the employees mapped to a plan. The name of the shift to which the employee must transferred is specified, as well. Just as in the “Record Employee Shift Deviation“ activity, shift deviation can be for an effective period.

Employee Self Service: Through the Employee Self service component, an employee can request for a deviation in his scheduled shift. He specifies the name of the shift to which a transfer is required. He can use the following:

The request will come into effect only after the supervisor authorizes this shift deviation request. While authorizing, he can edit the following

After the shift deviation request is authorized, the update is reflected in the Employee Timetable.

Is break time considered during attendance processing?

This will depend on whether “Inclusive” or “Exclusive” was chosen for the rota plan from which the rota schedule was derived. If “Inclusive” was chosen, the system will include the break time in the number of working hours for which the employee will be paid. Otherwise, the break time will be excluded.

Is compensatory off allowed?

Compensatory off can be allowed, if shifts are scheduled on holidays.

Whether shifts can be scheduled on a holiday will depend upon what is defined for the specific rota plan from which the employee’s rota schedule is derived. If the rota plan allows scheduling shifts on holidays, the system will treat the employee’s attendance on the holiday as either Compensatory off, or Overtime, depending on the choice

If shifts are not scheduled on holidays, compensatory off can be allowed only through stored procedure rules

How is overtime calculated?

The overtime method of calculation is defined for the rota plan from which the employee’s rota schedule or adhoc schedule is defined. Overtime can be calculated through

The overtime conversion table can co-exist with  the stored procedure rule, to determine overtime calculations But if there is a conflict, the stored procedure rule will prevail.

Can you create spot schedules?

You can create spot schedules for any employee in the organization. The “Quick Employee Rota Schedule Mapping” activity allows you to map individual employees to a rota schedule at any time. Although the rota schedules are already created, you can map employees to the rota schedule. Essentially, this activity takes care of situations where new employees need to be fitted into a rota schedule

This activity consists of specifying the employee who will be mapped, and the rota schedule to which the employee will be mapped. The number of the assignment based on which he is mapped must be specified as well, because mapping is assignment-based. Finally, you are to specify the date from which the mapping will be effective. By default, the employee’s mapping will be effective until the “effective to” date of the rota schedule.

How many schedules can be planned for the employee, for a day?

On a given day, an employee can be assigned to either a rota schedule or an adhoc schedule, but not to both.

 OT Applicable after (Hours/Day)-The number of hours you enter in this field, plus the number of hours of which the shift consists, together form the total number of hours after which the employee becomes eligible for overtime calculation. Example: The shift consists of 8 hours. If you enter 1 in this field, the employee will become eligible for overtime only after he works 9 hours in the day. Dependent factors  - Check this option to indicate that there is a ceiling to the number of weekly hours for which overtime can be availed  - Maximum OT hours/week  - If you indicated in the “Weekly OT Limit Applicable” field that there is a ceiling to the weekly overtime, enter the maximum hours in a week for which overtime can be availed.
