What is a “Shift”

In ecTA / ecPayroll system, generally, a “Shift” is a core, basic unit which represents the timetable of work duty (or off duty) in 1 single day. By assigning different Shifts with some “Duty rules” to staffs, it forms the “Duty Roster”.

Below is an example of a classic duty roster where “9-18”, “8-17”, “9-13”, and “OFF” are all defined by “Shift” respectively. In this example, you just need to create total 4 Shifts. After that, these Shifts can be re-used in “Duty rule” setup or “Quick set”

	2016/1/1	2016/1/2	2016/1/3	2016/1/4	2016/1/5	2016/1/6	2016/1/7
Staff A	9-18	9-18	9-18	9-18	9-18	OFF	OFF
Staff B	8-17	8-17	8-17	8-17	8-17	OFF	OFF
Staff C	9-18	9-18	9-18	9-18	9-18	9-13	OFF
Staff D	9-18	9-18	9-18	9-18	OFF	OFF	9-18
Staff E	OFF	9-18	9-18	9-18	9-18	9-18	9-18

In each “Shift” settings, there are many things can be defined by user such as:

l Shift information

l Start / End time of a work duty session in 1 day

l Start / End time of a pre-approved Overtime session in 1 day

l Calculation rules of lateness, early leave, and absence

l … (details will be covered in below section)
