New and Updated Features
eTime Xpress
Auto Shift Confirmation & Cannot Work functionality (ET-366)
The following features have been added:
- Shifts to be 'auto-confirmed' meaning that when a shift is published they are confirmed by default (no further employee action required)
- Permits employees to 'cannot work' a shift up to a specified deadline prior to shift start time
- Permits shifts to be automatically be set to open when Cannot Work initiated in Team Xpress
- Blocks employee from being re-scheduled
- Exempts designated shifts from Cannot Work (individually and via Shift Toolbox)
Apply overtime and/or double overtime when employee works 6 and/or 7 consecutive days over a rolling period (ET-508)
Automatically apply overtime if the employee works 6 or more consecutive days. The days can span more than one scheduling week.
When working 6 consecutive days, allocate hours on the 6th day to OT. This new OT rule will be similar to existing eTime rule "When working 6 consecutive days, allocate hours on 6th day to OT and 7th day to double OT (DOT)" but it will not be limited to the scheduling week and will not allocate hours to DOT on the 7th day (hours will be allocated to OT).
For example if employee works the last 3 days from week one and only the first 3 days from week 2, all hours from the 3rd day on week 2 will be OT hours.
*NOTE: for initial release, this functionality will only be supported when Shift Distribution = Shift Start Date. Midnight Cut-off will be considered for a future release should it be necessary.
Allow users to search saved Templates (ET-544)
This provides the ability to search saved schedule templates.
