i) the entire list of shifts pertinent for the category of employees

ii) the holiday master containing the list of applicable holidays

iii) the attendance rules and policies that will govern the handling of attendance.

Rota Schedule

A work agenda for employees of a specific category, such as Workers or Staff. It specifies a list of shifts in a given order, with the duration of each shift in terms of number of days; the list of shifts is cyclic. Essentially, the shifts in a rota schedule are derived from a rota plan.

When this rota schedule is applied to individual employees, it constitutes the employee’s timetable.
