5 Employee Scheduling

Employee Scheduling allows you to perform a variety of scheduling activities:

Employees can view and print their schedules at the Register Login screen. They may also view a list of other employees who are assigned to work on a specific day. Refer to the Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service User Guide for more information.

Work Shifts

Work shifts may be created to define a specific set of working hours or days (weekday mornings, weekend evenings, and so on), or with the intent that individuals who belong to a particular group (day managers, night managers, etc.) may be assigned to it. After a shift has been created, an individual employee may be assigned to it. See Maintaining Employee Shifts.

Time Off

Use the Maintain Employee Time Off function to define times when an employee is not available to work. These times can be set up as recurring events that span several days or as single events. See Maintaining Employee Time-Off Schedules.

Reports

The following scheduling reports are available:

  • Employee Performance Report - This report shows the scheduled hours for an employee or all employees, the hours actually worked, and the difference between scheduled and worked hours. The employee's total sales and average sales for the period are also shown.

  • Employee Schedule Detail - This report shows the employees who are scheduled for each day in the selected week. Each day of the week is listed, the employees scheduled, their individual start and end times, and the total hours for each day. This report also includes the total scheduled hours for the week.

  • Employee Time Off Summary Report - This report lists all employees who have time off scheduled for the selected week, and it shows the time-off days, hours (if less than a full day), and the reason for the time-off.


Note:

Refer to the Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service Reports Guide for detailed information about these reports.

Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service provides several options for creating a new schedule:

Create New Schedule Options

  • Add Shift From List - Use this option to apply a pre-defined shift to a specific employee/day on the schedule. See Adding a Pre-Defined Shift.


    Note:

    To define the shifts, see Creating a New Shift.

  • Copy Day Schedule - Use this option to copy an existing schedule from one day to a day (or days) in this new schedule. See Copying a Day Schedule.

  • Copy Week Schedule - Use this option to copy an existing weekly schedule from one week to this new weekly schedule. See Copying a Week Schedule.


    Note:

    Scheduling Exceptions...
    • If you schedule a shift for an employee with approved time off for the period, Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service displays a prompt alerting you to the conflict.

    • Select the Add to Schedule option to schedule the employee and override the time-off event.

    <OR>

    Note:

    • You can assign multiple shifts to the same employee, on the same day. This is useful if you employ many part-time employees.

    • If desired, you can schedule multiple shorter shifts during the day for just one employee. For example a three-hour INVENTORY/ STOCK shift in the morning and a two-hour CASHIER shift in the afternoon.

    • See Figure 5-6 for an example of an employee (Frank, Fern) with 2 shifts in a single day.

    Figure 5-5 Employee Schedule Data Form

The total scheduled hours and scheduled dollar amount is shown in the top panel of the screen. It is updated automatically each time you add or remove a shift.

    Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service displays the Weekly Summary Scheduling screen that shows the shift you created for the employee on the scheduled day.

    Information on this screen includes the starting and ending times, the work code, break times, and the amount of working time.

    Figure 5-6 Weekly Summary Scheduling Screen - Employees Scheduled Example

    Weekly Summary Scheduling Screen
  4. Continue scheduling all employees for the week as needed and select the Save Changes option to save your schedule.


    Note:

    Depending on your system's configuration, Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of- Service may provide a warning if you schedule an employee who has a conflict with restrictions defined by your store's policy. For example, there may be a maximum number of scheduled hours that cannot be exceeded.

    Figure 5-9 Pre-defined Shift Added

    Pre-defined Shift Added
  4. Continue scheduling all employees for the week, and select the Save Changes option to save your schedule.

Copying a Day Schedule

Use this option if your daily schedules are consistent within the week you are currently scheduling. For example, if your Monday through Wednesday staffing needs are similar, use this option to simply set up one day's schedule (Monday) and copy it to the other days (Tuesday and Wednesday) in the current week.


Note:

This option copies the schedule that every employee has on the selected day and duplicates it to the additional days that are selected. Therefore, any employee's cell may be selected, as long as it is in the correct day from which the schedule is copied.

For example, Bob works sales from 9:00 a.m. to noon on Monday, and Mary works inventory from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Monday. If the Copy Day Schedule duplicates the Monday schedule to Tuesday and Wednesday, then Bob works from 9:00 a.m. to noon on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Mary works inventory from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00

p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

...continued from step 5.

  1. Select the day you want to copy the schedule from. Use the arrow keys to navigate among the days on the scheduling screen grid. The highlighted area indicates the selected cell and day in the grid. In Figure 5-10, the Monday schedule is selected.


    Note:

    Tip:

    To select multiple days, use the Spacebar to select each day. In this example, Monday's schedule is copied to Thursday, and Friday.

    Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service copies the schedule to each day you selected. Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service totals the scheduled hours for the week as you build the schedule and the scheduled budgeted amount (if configured for your store).

    Note:

    If configured, Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service warns of an attempt to schedule an employee when it conflicts with your store's hourly constraints or other restrictions.

Copying a Week Schedule

Use this option if your weekly schedules are relatively consistent from week to week. For example, if your weekly summer staffing needs are similar, use this option to set up one week's schedule and copy it from week to week.
