Flexible Shift Schedule ***Add On ***
A Flexible Shift can be used when employees have irregular start and end times but need to complete their assigned daily hours. Overtime is calculated only when an employee works more than their allotted hours.
⚠️ Limitations of the Flexible Shift Schedule.
- Shift must have a fixed number of working hours and break hours per day. However, the number of working hours per day can be modified on the Shift Schedule calendar page.
- For Flexible Shift Schedules, the system cuts off time from 00:00 onwards, marking the start of the next day. This means each day runs from 00:00 to 23:59. Therefore, if you sign in before midnight and sign out after midnight, it will be displayed on different days.
- Overtime and overtime hours will only be calculated when an employee works beyond the number of hours per specified day in the shift schedule.
The Allowance Rules and Deduction Rules cannot be calculated in these cases:
- Late from shift start time - Late from break time
- Early from shift end time
- Early from break time
- Total late minutes (month)
- Total late times (month)
Unable to submit an attendance request
- Edit Shift
- Swap Shift.
- It is not possible to set up "Sign In Before Shift Start".

📃Note
