Work Pattern Enhancements

You can now configure worker work patterns that deviate from FTE hours. Before, FTE validation generated an error that stopped you from creating the work pattern if the pattern deviated from the worker's FTE hours. Now, you get a warning and can still save the work pattern.

You can still assign work pattern templates using assignment rules. Or you can now use complex and nested conditions using a list of attributes by clicking Use Condition Builder. To create and assign work pattern templates, use the My Client Groups > Workforce Scheduling > Work Pattern Templates quick action.

You can add one to many conditions, which use these attributes: Location, Location Code, Department, Job Name, Job Code, Position Name, Position Code, Job Family, Legal Employer, Union, Country, Bargaining Unit, Hourly or Salaried, Assignment Type, System Person Type, and Enterprise.

Tips And Considerations

Just as for assignment rules, to automatically assign templates using conditions, you need to run the Process Events process.
