5 Employee Scheduling

Employee Scheduling allows you to perform a variety of scheduling activities:

• Create and maintain employee work shifts

• Schedule and maintain employee time-off events such as vacations and other times when employees may not be available for work

• Assign employees to defined work shifts

Employees can view and print their schedules at the Register Login screen. They may also view a list of other employees who are assigned to work on a specific day. Refer to the Oracle Retail Xstore Point of Service User Guide for more information.

Work Shifts

Work shifts may be created to define a specific set of working hours or days (weekday mornings, weekend evenings, and so on), or with the intent that individuals who belong to a particular group (day managers, night managers, and so on.) may be assigned to it. After a shift has been created, an individual employee may be assigned to it. See Maintaining Employee Shifts.

Time Off

Use the Maintain Employee Time Off function to define times when an employee is not available to work. These times can be set up as recurring events that span several days or as single events. See Maintaining Employee Time-Off Schedules.

Reports

The following scheduling reports are available:

• Employee Performance Report - This report shows the scheduled hours for an employee or all employees, the hours worked, and the difference between scheduled and worked hours. The employee's total sales and average sales for the period are also shown.

• Employee Schedule Detail - This report shows the employees who are scheduled for each day in the selected week. Each day of the week is listed, the employees scheduled, their individual start and end times, and the total hours for each day. This report also includes the total scheduled hours for the week.

• Employee Time Off Summary Report - This report lists all employees who have time off scheduled for the selected week, and it shows the time-off days, hours (if less than a full day), and the reason for the time-off.
