Shift Patterns

 

Accessed from Standing Data >> Labour >> Shift Patterns

 

Each Shift Pattern contains a header which defines the description and duration of the shift pattern and then a series of lines that specifies the start day within the shift and the number of days that the line covers.

 

Time bands are then set up against the shift lines detailing the hours worked.  A different pay rate can be attached to the shift time bands.
