What is Time Range Definition?

“Time Range Definition” defines a time range for Leave Taking. No matter you are entering a leave take record from system backend, or applying leave from e-Leave web app, you have to tell the system what time range you want to leave (e.g. 9AM – 11AM). Instead of enter the time from and time to, you may simply select a pre-defined time range named, say “AM” or “PM”. That’s why we need to setup the names before easy leave taking.

 

Basically, you may define several time range items per Shift. As the start/end time of each Shift are different, the corresponding set of time range items are also different. The actual time range of each item should be referred to its Shift time range or otherwise it is meaningless.

 

For example, a single Shift with working hour from 9:00 – 18:00, lunch hour from 13:00-14:00. We may define several time range items as below:

 

Item name

Time from

Time to

No. of days

No. of Days / Hrs / Mins

AM

9:00

14:00

0.5

0 Day 4 Hrs 0 Min

PM

13:00

18:00

0.5

0 Day 4 Hrs 0 Min

9-1130

9:00

11:30

0.3

0 Day 2 Hrs 30 Mins

AM 2 hrs

9:00

11:00

0.25

0 Day 2 Hrs 0 Min

 

“Item name” – Any string representing such time range. Normally, it should be short and meaningful.

“Time from” – The start time of the range

“Time to” – The end time of the range. If “Time to” is smaller than “Time from”, that means it is the time in next day.

“No. of days” - How many days to be deduct if such time range is selected for leave taking. Our system allow the leave deduction in non-proportion ratio of no. of hours taken. Therefore you may deduct 0.5 day even you have just taken leave for only 2 hours.

“No. of Days / Hrs / Mins”-It is similar to “No. of days” but it will be applied when the selected leave type’s display unit is “Day / Hour / Min”

 

 

Please follow below steps to define the time ranges:
