The Employee Schedule activity allows you to view an individual employees timetable for a given month. Essentially, the employee timetable shows his or her scheduled shifts versus actual attendance details. Find out more.
The Juncture at Which the Employee Timetable is Generated: The system generates the employee timetable, after the following have been carried out:
The employee has been mapped to various rota schedules or adhoc schedules
The employees attendance has been recorded for the specified month.
The employee schedule generation must have been carried out through the Generate Employee Schedule activity.
What the Employee Timetable Shows: Each date in the month is displayed, along with the scheduled shift on this date and attendance for this scheduled shift. Consolidated details on the number of shift deviations, time deviations, weekly offs and holidays also form a part of the employee timetable. The timetable contains
The date for each day of the month and the day of the week on which the date falls
The alias of the shift scheduled for each date. Instead of the shift alias, it can also reflect weekly off or holiday
The attendance; this refers to whether the employee was present on the scheduled shift, was absent, on leave, on shift deviation, on time deviation or on training
You can also view the following consolidated information, for this month
The number of weekly offs applicable for the employee
The holidays during the month
The number of shift deviations applicable for the employee
The number of time deviations applicable for the employee
Through this timetable, you can determine the workload of the employee for the month.
Factors Affecting the Employees Attendance: The primary factors that affect the employees attendance are
Mapping of the employee to the rota schedule or
Mapping of the employee to the adhoc schedule
Quick mapping of the employee to a rota schedule
The employee inherits the sequence of shifts and the duration of each shift, from the rota or adhoc schedule. The weekly off is inherited from the rota / adhoc schedule, while the holidays are inherited from the rota plan from which the rota / adhoc schedule is derived.
The other factors that can affect the employees attendance are
The employee availing time deviation
The employee availing shift deviation
The leave availed by the employee

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 employees 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 employees attendance on a holiday must be treated as
Overtime, or
Compensatory off
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
Employee time deviation, in bulk
Employee self service
Employee Time Deviation: Through the Record Employee Shift Deviation activity, a HR person can enter the employees deviations in shift timings, for a given date. The deviation can be for
The start time of the scheduled shift
The end time of the scheduled shift
The start or end time of each work session or break session of which the shift consists
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 Time Deviation activity
The Edit Time Deviation Request activity
The request will come into effect only after the supervisor authorizes this time deviation request. While authorizing, he can edit the following
The start time of the scheduled shift
The end time of the scheduled shift
The start or end time of each work session or break session of which the shift consists
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
Employee shift deviation, in bulk
Employee self service
Employee Shift Deviation: Through the Record Employee Shift Deviation activity, a HR person can enter the employees 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 Shift Deviation activity
The Edit Shift Deviation Request activity
The request will come into effect only after the supervisor authorizes this shift deviation request. While authorizing, he can edit the following
Effective start date of the shift deviation
Effective end date of the shift deviation
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.
Complete entering the details in the Edit Rota Plan page
Enter the Set Attendance Parameters page
In the Break Time field, select Inclusive to indicate that the break time must be included, otherwise select Exclusive
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 employees rota schedule is derived. If the rota plan allows scheduling shifts on holidays, the system will treat the employees 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
The overtime method of calculation is defined for the rota plan from which the employees rota schedule or adhoc schedule is defined. Overtime can be calculated through
An overtime conversion table. . For example, if the employee worked 5 hours on his weekly off, and his conversion factor is 1.5, he becomes eligible to be paid for 7.5 hours as overtime
An overtime conversion table for each slab of hours
Any stored procedure rule
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. You are to also specify the date from which the mapping will be effective. By default, the employees mapping will be effective until the effective to date of the rota schedule.
Create and publish an employee timetable that embodies shifts, holidays and weekly-offs
Create or edit the holiday master, to create the list of holidays that can be used across the organization.
Create different shifts, indicating the start and end time of each shift.
Group one or more shifts, by using the Create Rota Plan activity. Through this activity, you can also associate the required list of holidays and the overtime rule applicable to the employees.
Group the required shifts from the rota plan, to Create a Rota Schedule. Through this activity, you can sequence the shifts and the duration of each shift. The cycle of shifts and the weekly-offs in each shift are therefore established.
Map the employee to the rota schedule. The employee automatically inherits the rota schedules, which means that the system can display the shifts and weekly-offs of each employee.
Ensure that the leave and training details applicable for an employee are integrated as well, through the Leave and Training components.
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.
When payment is on a weekly basis, how do I know when the week starts?
In the rota plan from which the employees rota schedule is derived, you are to specify the day on which the week begins, example, Monday.
After time deviation has been authorized, can an employees shift deviation be effected on the same date?
A shift deviation can be effected on the same date, by one of the following methods
Recording shift deviation through the Employee Scheduling component
Authorization of the employees shift deviation request. This authorization is carried out by the supervisor, through the Employee Self Service component.
