Using Self-Service Scheduling Features for Employees

Employees can use self-service pages in Absence Management to enter their schedule preferences, such as preferred contact information for schedule updates, willingness to work a compressed work week, and daily shift preferences. When a manager wants to replace, swap, or copy a schedule, the employee preferences can be viewed to determine the best available replacement or schedule.

Description

Willing to work a compressed work week

Define whether or not you will work a compressed work week.

Shift

Enter the shift you prefer to work. This field is populated based on the employee ID. If the current user has a schedule assigned, the only shifts available in the drop-down list box are those shifts that correspond to the user's schedule ID and the SetID determined by the user's schedule group. If the user has no schedule assigned, the Shift ID field is hidden.

Note: There is no validation between start and end times and shifts. No logic exists to verify that the times entered fall within the shift, if one is entered.
