Work Shifts
In this routine, work shifts are registered, corresponding to the working hours of the employees.
Typical office working hours may be: 9:00 13:00 14:00 18:00, i.e, arrival at 9 AM., lunch break from 1 PM to 2 PM, and departure at 6 PM.
Work shift data are used for calculations pertaining to Payroll, Advance, Vacation, Termination, Transportation Allowance, shift differential, among others.
Work shifts determine the length of the workday, i.e., the number of hours to be worked in a given period of time.
For example:
An eight-hour workday means that the employee must work for eight hours per day.
Workdays may be carried out in different shifts, as per the examples below, which illustrate an eight-hour workday in three different shifts:

Requirements:
Before adding work shifts, the following parameters must be configured:
It determines the number of hours (between 00.00 and 12.00) which is added to the departure time so as to determine the maximum departure limit for the employee.
It determines the number of hours (between 00.00 and 12.00) which is subtracted from the arrival time so as to determine the minimum arrival limit for the employee.
Uninterrupted shifts are handled differently by the system and, thus, its fields and parameters are to be configured in the Electronic Attendance Control module. |
