Use this window to register information on the working hours which define the work-time of the employees. Work time is defined either by day types, or by entering the hours directly into the schedule details. With day types, you can enter a wage code for each time interval, which is later on transferred to the payroll affecting the employee's compensation. The detailed information in the day type is normal when you use clocking based Time and Attendance.
The work time can also be entered without the use of day types. In this case, you enter the hours directly in the schedule cycle or for the date in the day-by-day schedule. This level of information is available when you do not need the exact information about, e.g., overtime, but still need to track the scheduled hours.
The working hour schedules can be managed as a Cycle schedule or as a Day-by-Day schedule. The cycle schedule minimizes the registration and is recommended when you can find a repeated pattern of working hours. For example, a Monday to Friday 8-17, Saturday and Sunday off schedule is defined in seven rows.
The Day-by-Day schedule is used when there is no pattern. Each date is specified with its day type, or amount of working hours. This type of schedule is a supplement to the more common Cycle schedule.
Both types of schedules can be connected to one or several substitute schedules. However, mostly relevant to cycle schedules, the substitute schedule information will override the ordinary schedule regardless of its type. Substitute schedules are entered with an ID and the exception dates they cover. The substitute schedule is connected to the working hours schedule in the Schedule Details window.
