Understanding Manager Self-Service for Scheduling Components

The Manager Self-Service for Scheduling components enable managers to assign, view, change, and override work schedules (SCH_MNG_PERIOD).

In addition to viewing coverage, assigned shifts, and total work hours, managers can identify individuals with planned absences or training, holidays, and no shows (those employees who have not reported in for a scheduled punch shift). The manager can also view employees with multiple shifts in a day, those who have shifts that span midnight, and those which have changing task elements over a shift.

If updates need to be made to the schedule, managers can schedule replacements, swap shifts, copy schedules, and make short- and long-term schedule changes.

A generic interface to the open scheduling architecture can be accessed to load optimized work schedules or data from other systems, including training data from Learning Management.

Employees can update their schedule preferences, such as preferred contact information for schedule updates (phone or email), 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.

Time reporters are in a static or dynamic groups to which a manager has access or a manager has access to time reporter data through HCM data permission security. Managers are restricted from viewing and changing their own data on these pages:
