Configure Nonessential Shifts w/No Break

This task requires advanced knowledge of shift configurations, for instance how to create shifts, shift masks, shift times, use days of week buttons, assign shifts to positions, and give people assignments and so on.

Important
This method is not applicable when distinct administrative shift identifiers are required to feed a third party system.

Read the following task from start to finish before you begin as not all steps may be applicable to your configuration:

Create administrative base shifts for every lunch break variation. Ex: ADM No Lunch Deduction, ADM Lunch 1hr, ADM Lunch 30m.
1. Have each base shift run Sunday through Saturday and designate a start time and duration. Ex. 07:00,10
2. Skip this step if you don’t have varying lunch breaks. Otherwise, enter a lunch break value in each of the administrative base shifts. For example: Setup > Shift > Subtract Break of 0.5 to apply a lunch time of 30 minutes.
3. Skip this step if you don’t have varying lunch breaks. Merge the administrative base shifts that contain the lunch break to the shift with no lunch break. For example in the Shift ADM Lunch 1hr, go to the Roster Merge menu box and select ADM No Lunch Deduction. Do the same for ADM Lunch 30m, go to the Roster Merge menu box and select ADM No Lunch Deduction.

Use shifts, shift times, and shift masks or days of the week buttons as building blocks and attach them to nonessential positions in the Organizational Structure or the Person Assignment tab.

In the Organizational structure, go to nonessential positions and assign the corresponding shift, shift time, ‘shift mask or use days of week buttons’ and check the Assignment column.

To give a person an administrative assignment:

Go to the person’s Assignment tab, select the corresponding shift and area. When you select the Position, the schedule automatically populates for that Position. Shift times are grayed out by design because they are attached to the position.

Nonessential personnel display on the Roster without creating unnecessary and repetitive levels.
