Integration of Workforce Schedule Info with Time and Labor Enhancements

Integrate workforce schedule information when generating time card entries from device events. Any workforce schedule shift attribute information, such as the department or location is considered for related time events and entries generated from these events. And this shift attribute information can then be viewed on the Redwood time card. For example, a worker in the Support department in Paris has a workforce schedule shift assigned for Monday, from 8:00a to 4:00p. They clocked in at 8:00a and out at 4:00p. The entry generated from these 2 events has the shift location time attribute value set to Paris and shift department time attribute value set to Support.

Here's the full list of delivered shift fields available to include in your layouts:
Shift Department
Shift Location
Shift Name
Shift Extended Type
Shift Category
Shift Paid Break Duration
Shift Unpaid Break Duration
Shift Incentive Amount
Premium Shift Code
Allow Shift Overtime
Shift Job Profile
Shift Job
Shift Position
Shift Job Family
Shift Scheduling Group
Shift Qualification
 

Schedule Shift Information

Time Events Reported by the Worker

Time Card Generated from the Preceding Time Events Showing the Related Schedule Shift Information

Here's the logic applied to find the schedule shift used to default the related shift information for time entries generated from device events:

Time Entry Scenario	Logic to Default Shift Information
Incomplete entry with a start time only, generated from an IN event--no OUT event	If the IN is outside the start early or start late periods, we can't match it to any shift. Otherwise, we default the shift information.
Incomplete entry with an end time only, generated from an OUT event--no IN event	If the OUT is outside the end early or end late periods, we can't match it to any shift. Otherwise, we default the shift information.
Complete entry generated from an IN event matching a schedule start time and an OUT event with no match	We default the shift attributes for the shift matching the IN event.
Complete entry generated from an IN event with no match and an OUT event matching a schedule end time	We default the shift attributes for the shift matching the OUT event.
Complete entry generated from an IN event matching a schedule start time and an OUT event matching a schedule end time	We default the shift attributes for the shift matching the OUT event. Any attribute value set for an OUT event takes precedence over the value for the same attribute set for the related IN event.
Complete entry generated from an IN and an OUT events, both with no match	If there's a schedule shift overlapping the time entry generated from the IN and OUT events, we default the shift attributes for the shift with the end time that's nearest to the OUT event time. Otherwise, we don't default any shift information.

This feature contributes in a better integration between the Workforce Scheduling and Time and Labor apps. 

Steps to Enable

While you don't need to enable these enhancements, you do need to configure time layout sets to include relevant shift fields and link the layout sets to workers. For details, see How do I include workforce scheduling info on time cards?
