Work Schedule

Work Schedule answers a specific operational question: was this person scheduled to work at this moment, where, and under which pattern? It describes planned working time. It does not report attendance, physical presence, payroll, or time-clock events.

Work Schedule has two connected screens:

  • Working Schedule shows the effective result after calendar assignments and exceptions are applied.
  • Working Calendars is where authorized schedulers create, revise, and publish ordinary weekly patterns.
  1. Make sure the Work Schedule module is enabled.
  2. Create or repair the Operational Location, Site, and Worker catalogs from Work Schedule settings.
  3. Optionally use Create menu section in Work Schedule settings to add Operational Location, Workers, Sites, Working Calendars, and Working Schedule to a user menu. You can also add either Work Schedule screen independently from the ordinary menu editor and reorder the result later.
  4. Create and publish a Working Calendar.
  5. Assign the calendar to Sites and Workers.
  6. Open Working Schedule and select a Worker, Site, or Matrix view.

Calendar authoring is available as soon as the module is enabled. Assignments and effective-schedule resolution additionally require the operational catalogs and at least one enabled calendar with a published revision.

This version does not define shifts, crews or teams, published rosters, shift bidding, attendance or time tracking, absence approval, payroll, overtime calculation, capacity planning, or Worker-to-user association. Work Schedule records the scheduling effect of a decision; it does not own the decision or approval process.
