Why:
In some markets (e.g. Sweden) dealers are required by law to pay mechanics an additional fee for working hours that are deemed unpleasant (before 07:00 and after 18:00), even if they fall within the mechanic’s normal working time. This can mean two or more different rates of pay (up to five) being applied in one normal shift. Rounding is still applied to the end of shift and automatic fixed breaks are applied in the usual way.
The concept of multiple core times within one shift has been introduced into GDS mechanic shift patterns. This functionality replaces the concept of core time plus which is no longer applicable in Fusion 3.3.
The scope of this change includes the following areas of GDS; mechanic shift patterns, mechanic reporting, time recording, pay rates and workshop planning (available hours).
The following sub topics explain aspects of Multiple Core Times in relation to Fusion.
