Shift flexibility problem

Yahoo Archive
1
We have employees that work outside their normal shift. If the situation is
going to remain for a while (one week or more) we create a new shift and
make the change in the system. If it is for a time period less than one
week we leave them on their normal shift.

I have created a report in CR that Human Resources runs daily, it prints by
supervisor and lists all employees in shift order and prints comments like
"absent?, overtime?, early punch in, late punch out". The supervisor must
make notes for each employee that the report created a comment for, signs
the sheet and returns it to HR

Hope this helps.

Subject: [Vantage] Shift flexibility problem

As many companies in the valley have done, we have reduced our staff
dramatically. The end result means our shop employees are being asked
to work outside of their shift when the work demands it. What is now
occurring is shop employees who typically work in shift 1: (5:00 to
1:00 with a .50 lunch break automatically deducted at 10:00 am) now
occasionally clock in outside of their shift and subsequently are not
being deducted for lunch. If for example the shop employee is working
1:00 to 5:00 pm on a Saturday. The easiest fix would be to create new
shifts and have those employees select a different shift when they
work exception hours. But most of our employees have a difficult time
just clocking in much less selecting a shift.

Any automated solutions to this problem that anyone even THINKS could
work would be appreciated.
