Shifts in Workforce Scheduling
A shift is a defined block of work used to create work patterns. It includes a name, work duration, and start time. It can include a total break duration. The work and break durations decide the total duration.
For example, you create the Union Day shift with a start time of 8:00 a.m. The work duration is 8 hours, the total break duration is 60 minutes, and the calculated total duration is 9 hours. Work patterns that use this shift could include two 15-minute paid coffee breaks and one 30-minute unpaid meal break.
To help people more quickly find appropriate shifts, shifts can include a category, such as Day, Evening, or Night. Manage the Category drop-down list using the Manage Common Lookups task and the ORA_HTS_ENT_SHIFTS_CATEGORY lookup type.
