Shifts

A day consists of several shifts, and employees are allocated to each shift. For example: for a reception the definition is that one employee can only work a total of 8 hours per day. A day has 24 hours, and to cover all hours the day is divided into shifts and employees are then allocated to different shifts. This is called a shift plan. Each location that you have defined for your company may have different shifts. Shift names must be unique.
