An employee works a double shift and the employee must make a deposit at the end of each shift. For example, an employee can work the breakfast shift and make a deposit of all cash due. Then, the employee can increment the shift so the lunch shift starts at 0.00. At the end of the lunch shift, the employee knows how much money to deposit without having to subtract the breakfast totals.
A shift spans a business day. For example, if an employee’s shift is from 1:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., and Start of Day runs at 3:00 a.m., you can configure Simphony so the employee’s report shows all activity from 1:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. In this situation, the employee’s report does not reset at 3:00 a.m.
You can increment shifts using the Employee PMC Procedure or with one of the increment shift function keys.
