9-80 Schedule
A two-week schedule in which 80 hours are worked in nine days instead of ten. Typically, one week consists of four nine-hour days and a single eight-hour day, while the other week consists of four nine-hour days. The time worked on the eight-hour day is split between two pay weeks (therefore this day is called the split day).
Some companies use this schedule as an alternate schedule or summer schedule, because it allows employees to work another hour a day and earn an extra day off.
See 9-80 Schedules for more information.
Ad Hoc Schedule
A schedule that is generated by the time reporter clocking in on an unscheduled day (see Gap Day below). Two forms exist: Virtual Schedule where the schedule on the most previous scheduled day is copied, and By Clock Schedule where the system looks up the schedule in a table based upon the clock in time stamp.
Flexitime Schedule
Flexitime is a style of schedule that allows for flexibility when an employee works as long as he’s there for his mandatory “Core Time” and does not come in outside of defined bounds.
Gap Day
A day where there is no schedule; a date with a schedule that is not normal; or a gap schedule. A Gap Day is the opposite of a Scheduled Day. It is a day where the employee is not scheduled to work as normal. The employee may or may not be allowed to come in and work on Gap Days.
Outside Schedule
Earlier or later than the schedule boundaries, taking the Applicability Ranges into account. See Strictly Outside Schedule.
Overtime Schedule
A schedule for time beyond “normal” work hours. This can occur before schedule, after schedule, gap day and holiday.
Post Date
A date that represents on what day time appears on a timecard.
You can prevent a schedule from being deleted or modified by making it a Protected schedule.
When a person has a Protected schedule, the person's schedule cannot be modified or deleted by the SCHEDULE_GENERATION service or the Generate button on the Schedule Cycle form. However, you can modify a Protected schedule on the Person Schedule form if you un-protect the schedule first. On the Schedule Edit form, your ability to modify a Protected schedule depends on your Schedule Edit Policy.
Punched Event
In regards to schedules ‘Punched Event’ means a meal or break that post only when a real-time time reporter explicitly posts the event. Example: a time reporter leaves for lunch at 12 PM and returns at 12:30 PM, each time using the terminal to record his leaving or returning. This is in contrast to automatic events that are defined within the schedule (and set to automatically post) that will post without the time reporter explicitly posting them.
Schedule
A bounded block of time defining how the time reporter shall work, shall not work, may work, or can be available or unavailable for work. It has specific time stamps for the start and end of the block as well as time stamps that control the ability of the time reporter to clock in to the system. Also optionally includes scheduled events. All time stamps are stored in GMT.
Schedule Cycle
A multiple day pattern of schedules that repeats multiple times.
Schedule Generation
The step where schedule records for individual time reporters/post dates are stored in the database. This can be from pressing Save on a form or from a non-interactive service.
Scheduled Day (also called Normal Day)
A day that has a Normal schedule on the Person Schedule form and for which the Overtime Type is blank. A Scheduled Day is a day where the employee is scheduled to work as normal. Such work is usually paid at Regular time (no premium).
Scheduled Event
A block of time defined in a schedule where the employee has a specific event occurring. Examples include meals and breaks. Schedules may have none, one, or more than one. All time stamps are stored in GMT.
Scheduling
Scheduling is the process of determining who should be assigned to what Schedule.
Shift (also Shift Number)
A designation that translates to a premium for calculating monetary amounts and possibly Bonus Hours. For example, a “night shift” may have a 10% premium.
Strictly Inside Schedule
Between the start and end times of the schedule. Any time outside these bounds is not Strictly Inside, regardless of the Applicability Range.
Strictly Outside Schedule
Earlier than the start or later than the end of the schedule, regardless of Applicability Range.
Template
A template differs from a schedule only in that it is not tied to any time reporter or post date and it stores as local time instead of GMT, including for any scheduled events. It will have a unique identifier.
