Work schedules are templates which inform TimeTac when an employee should normally work. This allows the system to recognise standard working and non-working days (such as weekends for most office based companies). The benefit is that you gain a greater overview of employee attendance and absence, and should the employee request a holiday when there are non-working days during that holiday period, then these are accounted for and are not “double booked”.
Create a Work Schedule
To create a work schedule, switch to the display listed within the menu.
By default, you will see one template (5 days a week) listed here. You can modify this template or create your own by clicking on the button. A blank line will appear in the display; double click in the field and enter a name for the template.
When you have this template selected, you will see some corresponding data in the right-hand panel of the display. This displays the weekly plan for that selected template. Simply check the relevant checkboxes for the days which should be considered normal working days.
Assign a Work Schedule to an Employee
Once you have created your work schedules, it is time to assign these to the correct employee.
Switch to the menu, then select .
Select the relevant employee in the central display and their individual settings will appear in the right-hand side menu. Expand the options for Work Schedules and select the appropriate schedule from the dropdown.
You are also required to specify a valid from date for this work schedule from the next dropdown menu. If the employee ever changes their working pattern, then you can assign them to a new work schedule and specify the correct valid from date. This ensures that changes to their working schedule are only made from that point onwards in TimeTac.
