Administering Shifts

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to create a Shift in SAP Fieldglass.

Shift

Shifts define the days and times the workers are expected to work for a particular position.

Depending on an organization's needs, shifts may be simple and only include the typical working days in a week (Monday - Friday), or they might be more complex and include specific work days, hours, and start times and/or end times.

Shifts are associated to rate schedules, which are groupings of rates that apply to a position. Rates for workers can change based up differing shifts, so Shift details and Rate Schedules work together to track the rates for nonstandard work hours.

If a rate schedule is assigned to a worker, they will be required to select the Shift when completing their time sheets.

Create a Shift

WorkingNet periodically performs updates to their servers on weekend nights between 9 PM and 5 AM.

You’ll need to create a shift so the workers who are assigned to cover the maintenance updates can get paid at the appropriate rate.
