Once Employee Availability Patterns and Schedule Patterns have been set up, actual schedules can be posted (assigned) to individual employees or groups of employees.
Follow the procedure below to complete the posting of a schedule.
From the Selection Buckets, select the employees to be assigned.
You may be selecting many employees for this schedule, however, they may have different starting dates for their individual schedules. To allow for this, highlight only the employees who will be starting on the same 'Edit As of Date'. In the example below, the three employees highlighted in green are going to have their schedules take effect on 05/10/1999. To highlight the desired employees, simply click and drag in the 'Selected Employees' window.
Click the 'Edit As of Date' button. Enter the starting date of the schedule.
Select the schedule pattern from the drop down box and then enter the number of times the pattern is to repeat itself. In the example below, the "Schedule Patterns Test" pattern has been selected to repeat it's 2 week pattern 6 times for a total of 12 weeks.
Posting over Absent and/or Holiday records. If there are already some Absent/Holidays records scheduled, and you wish to overwrite these records, click the appropriate check box. If the box is checked, the corresponding records will be overwritten by the new schedule you are about to post!
Rolling Over a Schedule pattern. Click the "Roll Over As Of Date" box if you want the same schedule to kick in again once the original schedule has been completed.
Once you have entered all of the information relating to this particular schedule, click the 'POST' button to complete the process, then the 'EXIT' button to exit the 'Post Employee Schedule' screen.
