Defining Work Schedule Levels and Groupings

Work schedules define the work patterns for groups of employees and include working times. A valid public holiday calendar is a prerequisite for every work schedule.

Daily level:

At the daily level, daily work schedules including the break schedule are specified. You can also include various daily work schedule variants (alternative versions of the daily work schedules).

Weekly level:

At the weekly level, daily work schedules are arranged into a specific pattern in period work schedules.

Monthly level:

At the monthly level, work schedules are created for several calendar months based on a valid public holiday calendar and a work schedule rule.

Work schedules can apply to one or more personnel subarea or employee subgroup groupings.

A personnel subarea grouping for work schedules is a group of personnel subareas that have the same work schedule rules. This grouping allows you to control the permissibility of work schedules within the personnel subareas. Several groupings are required if different work schedule rules apply to different personnel subareas.

A personnel subarea grouping for daily work schedules is a group of personnel subareas that base their daily work schedules on the same work schedules. This grouping is not assigned directly to the personnel subarea but is assigned to the grouping for work schedules. A personnel subarea grouping for daily work schedules can be assigned to one or more groupings for work schedules. In this way, the permissibility of daily work schedules used is controlled within personnel subareas.

In the example shown personnel subareas 0001 and 0002 use the same work schedules and are, therefore, assigned to the same grouping for work schedules (01). Consequently, they also use the same daily work schedules and are assigned to the same grouping for daily work schedules (01).
