Workforce Today® 5/14/2021
Our NEW release goes live 5/14/21
The following new features and development items are included in the release. This summary will provide you with a basic overview of the changes that will be available.
Workforce Scheduling
A glow up for Attendance and Scheduling
Workforce Scheduling allows you to quickly schedule employees as large groups or an entire organization. An advanced solution to assist in everything from setting schedules to communicating shift shortages and requirements and predicting future workforce needs.
Features within the new Workforce Scheduling product include:
• Set customizable count types for how employees are counted per shift
• Build staffing rules around employee count types
• Quickly add employees to shifts from a graphical scheduler view
• Assign employees directly to a shift versus a larger role
• Send notifications to employees who are eligible to fill open shifts
• Predict staffing requirements across employee groups and time periods
Auto Labor Allocation
As a new feature for Scheduling, Auto Labor Allocation allows you to pre-set labor types (hours, department, task) based on individual employee shifts. Once an employee works a shift with Auto Labor Allocation enabled, hours are allocated based on the pre-set labor types designated for that shift.
Auto Labor Allocation is enabled within the Manage Shift screens. If enabled, shift schedulers can determine whether time will be allocated to the shift start time or actual punch time.
Time Card Alert Details
As a new feature for Time Card screens within Time and Attendance, Time Card Alert Details allow you to manually add alerts on employee timecards after editing or adding punches or hours. This feature uses the existing Time Card permission rules (Alert Detail) to determine who can access the hour alert detail.
As an example, prior to Time Card Alert Details, a Missing Punch Alert would display once an employee missed a punch, but the alert would be removed once the missing punch got corrected. With Time Card Alert Details, you can continue to track and display missing punch alerts for future compliance and disciplinary purposes.
