Shifts: Shift Tab

General

• Shift Name - The name that defines the shift.
• Shift Type - Selections that define the parameters around the start and end of the shift. The choices are; Shift with In and Out Revisions, Shift with No Revisions, Shift with In Revision, Shift with Out Revision, or Flexible Shift.
  • Shift With In and Out Revisions - The In revision will adjust the calculated punch start to the set In Time or beginning of shift. The Out revision will adjust the calculated punch end to the set Out Time or end of shift. For example, if Arrive Early is set for 7:30 AM and In Time is set for 8:00 AM and an employee punches In at 7:45 AM, the punch will be calculated as 8:00 AM. If Out Time is set for 4:00 PM and Leave Late is set for 4:30 PM and an employee punches Out at 4:14 PM, the punch will be calculated as 4:00 PM.
  • Shift With No Revisions - The shift will not revise punches from employees for the assigned shift but has a defined start and end time.
  • Shift With In Revision - The In revision will adjust the calculated punch start to the set In Time or beginning of shift. For example, if Arrive Early is set for 7:30 AM and In Time is set for 8:00 AM and an employee punches In at 7:45 AM, the punch will be calculated as 8:00 AM.
  • Shift With Out Revision - The Out revision will adjust the calculated punch end to the set Out Time or end of shift. For example, if Out Time is set for 4:00 PM and Leave Late is set for 4:30 PM and an employee punches Out at 4:14 PM, the punch will be calculated as 4:00 PM.
  • Flexible Shift - The shift does not have a defined start and end time but a definitive shift length, for example a shift that is 10 hours long but can be started at any time.

Shift Options

• Arrive Early - This setting defines the start of the In revision zone. Punches that fall between the Arrive Early value and the In Time value will be calculated as the In Time value.
• In Time - This setting defines the start of the shift. Punches that fall after the In Time are flagged as tardy exceptions.
• Out Time - This setting defines the end of the shift. Punches that fall before the Out Time are flagged as left early exceptions.
• Leave Late - This setting defines the end of the Out revision zone.  Punches that fall between the Out Time value and the Leave Late value will be calculated as the Out Time value.
• Shift Length - This field displays the accumulated time that will occur between the In Time and Out Time. If the Shift Type is set to Flexible Shift, use this field to define the shift length.

Break Assignments

• Assigned Breaks - A list of breaks assigned to the shift.  A break is assigned to the shift when a check shows in the box.  The breaks are executed based on how they are assigned in the list; it may be necessary to user the Up or Down buttons to get the breaks in the correct sequence.
• Available Breaks - A list of all breaks defined in PayClock.  Assign the break(s) to the shift by selecting the box. When the break is assigned to the shift, ti will move from the list of Available Breaks to the list of Assigned Breaks. If you need to create a new break, use the + button.
