Shift Codes

Use this form to maintain codes that identify particular shifts for use in payroll administration. You can create as many shifts as needed based on the starting and ending times for a flex-time work schedule. Use the Scheduling Shifts form to define shifts to schedule resources for working on operations.

In data collection, the system validates the shift code between the data collection transaction and the shift codes defined on this form. The system checks the shift codes to determine if a shift exists where the effective date of the shift is less than or equal to the posted date of the data collection transaction. If multiple shifts satisfying this criteria exist, the shift with the latest date is used. If this search fails, then another search is performed to find a shift with a matching shift code and the effective date is then disregarded. If a shift is not found with a matching shift code, the message "Shift does not exist" displays on the respective error processing screen in data collection.
