Work Schedules | Overview

Sage People Work schedules enable you to define and allocate set working times for your team members. Typically used for hourly paid workers, part time employees, and team members working compressed hours (also known as condensed hours) a work schedule defines working and non-working days and hours in terms of the time segments that make them up.

You can apply work schedules to:

• The Time Off calendar, providing a visual guide to working days with graying applied to days including non-working time.

• Time off requests, subtracting non-working time from inclusive requests.

  For example, a team member working to a schedule defining Wednesday as a non-working day and wanting to take Monday to Friday inclusive as time off can raise a single Monday to Friday time off request. Sage People identifies Wednesday as a non-working day and records the request as a four day period.

• Timesheets.

Access Work Schedule functionality through two tabs in the HR Manager portal:

Tab	Description
Working Days	Days defined by overall duration and constituent Time Segment. Working Days are used to define Work Schedules. Each Working Day can be used in multiple Work Schedules.
Work Schedules	Schedules of Working Days with constituent Time Segments. Schedules can be allocated to Policies or to individual Team Member Employment Records, and form an integral part of your organization's time and attendance management.

To set up a work schedule, follow this sequence:

1. Define working days.

2. Define time segments within each working day.

3. Create a work schedule.

4. Assign working days to a work schedule.

5. Assign a work schedule to a policy.

6. If required, assign work schedules to individual team members.

In WX, team members assigned to work schedules—either individually or through their policies—have absence durations calculated in working days as defined by the work schedule.
