Re-Allocate Hours

  • Re-Allocate to Job
. Allows you to split
  • —Split hours between two different jobs. For example, if someone starts the shift doing one job, but after five hours switches to another job because of a staffing shortage for a total of eight hours, you can allocate a three net hours to Job 2. The Job drop-down will only display jobs the employee can work. Re-allocating a job automatically creates a new shift.
    • Job
. Allows you to reclassify
    • —Reclassify a shift, or part of a shift, to another job code. The Job drop-down will only display jobs the employee can work. If the time record is complete (containing both a punch in and a punch out)
,
    • and it is on the incorrect job code, you may move the ENTIRE punch to another job code.
    • The
Job
    • job that the punch is associated with can be changed by checking the Override Job box and clicking the browse button, and then selecting the correct job code from the table. This is used to correct errors listed as Incorrect Job Code. The employee punching in for a secondary job that is not assigned to them usually causes this error.
    • If the correct job code is not listed, go to Employee Maintenance and insert the job for the employee.
    • Be aware that if the employee has two rates for the same job that will also show on this screen. For example a server may make more when they work in room service than in their home job of restaurant server. If the employee punched in incorrectly you will need to know the rate of pay at which the employee worked that shift to correctly select the job to assign the punch.
    • Shift Category

which
