Why:
Shift clocking codes can be attached to shifts to indicate which days and hours the shift is intended to cover. If required, roundings can also be set up here.
Where:
From the Fusion Control File view, select Shift Clocking. This will display the Shift Clocking window.
How to Add Edit & Delete Shift Clocking Codes:
In the Shift Clocking window, new codes can be created and existing codes opened and viewed or amended as well as deleted. Each code consists of a header record and a details window.
To create a new shift clocking code, select File > New. This will display a Shift Clocking window. Input the new shift clocking code and a description and click OK.
To delete an existing clocking code, highlight the clocking code and click the delete toolbar button. A confirm delete prompt will be displayed. Click ‘Yes’ to delete.
Note! All shift clocking
details associated with the shift clocking code will also be deleted.
Highlight the new code from the list in the Shift Clocking window and right-click then select Details. This will display a Shift Clocking Detail Selection window. This is blank as the code’s new, so you’ll need to set up the days and times the shift is to cover.
Select File > New to display the Shift Clocking Details window where the days and times can be input. ‘Down’ refers to any time during the shift that the person isn’t available, for example lunch. Downtime should be accumulated against ONE core time and not split, as in the case of a night shift set up where two core times are applicable. (i.e. in the case of tea breaks etc.)
‘Core’ can be set to ‘Core Time’ if these hours are to be included in the planning function. More than one core time is allowed, but certain rules must be observed:
• Where core time is denoted as ‘Core’ any secondary core time must follow this and be flagged as core time plus to denote a continuation of the previous core time. This must also apply to each applicable day, however it is possible to flag a core time without a secondary core time.
• Only one downtime is allowed per core time, therefore no downtime can be entered against the secondary core time.
Payment Category is selected to denote the pay rate cost for each shift. When setting up the days and times for the clocking code it’s important to remember that each shift clocking code must cover the complete 24 hour day and a 7 day cycle should also be set up.
