Shift Groups club several shifts under one group with similar ‘In’ and ‘Out’ timings, but different Shift Premiums associated with them.

Switching between Departments and Jobs during the workday is a smooth process. Simply press the "Switch" key and enter the new Department and/or Job code. The application assigns the new hours to the correct Department and Job.

Unlimited Variable Pay Rates are supported within the application, as well. You can specify a different Pay Rate for different Departments, Jobs or Department/Job combinations.

Enhanced Mass Update Time Group Process

Mass Update Time Group process allows you to change the Time Group of an employee. Changing an employee’s Time Group involves a complete change in all Processing Rules (Lunches, Breaks, Shifts, Holidays, Work Day Rules, etc) included within that Time Group. Updating Time Groups for individual employees is a tedious and Time consuming job. The process of ‘Mass Update Time Group’ allows for a quick and smooth transition of Time Groups. You can narrow down from general to more specific areas for Mass Update by selecting appropriate Organization levels.

You can now filter employee data for Mass Update Time Group’ process based on Employee Type or Default Shift options.

In Mass Update Time Group process, you can create time group templates, if required. This allows you to assign a particular Time Group, to a new employee whose details are imported into the application.
