Editing Schedule Start or End Times

Configuring employee schedules provides a pretty good approximation of when employees will be working, but are not perfect because employees may come in early or late, and likewise may leave early or late. In such cases, it's often necessary to adjust the scheduled start and end times with the employee's actual start and end times. This is accomplished using either a Time and Attendance data feed or by editing the times manually.

There are two general types of editing you will do to an employee's work schedule:

• Editing the start or end times slightly (less than 2 hours) to account for early / late arrivals or departures.
• Editing the start or end times drastically (typically more than 6 hours) because the employee was not assigned to the correct schedule group.

Editing a Schedule's Start or End Time

In the following screenshot, the employee was scheduled to start at 3:00 p.m. but didn't actually start working until 4:00 p.m., so it is necessary to adjust the Schedule Start Time by an hour.

1. Click on the blue bar with the white hyperlink in the center of the weekly schedule view.
   
   
   
   
2. A popup window appears which allows you to edit the schedule, transfer assignments, or split the work schedule.
   
   
   
   
3. On the left side, enter the new start time of 4:00 p.m., and click the Save button. The DI refreshes with the new schedule start time of 4:00 p.m.
4. The same process may be applied for editing a schedule's end time.
