Introduction 
Times Tab
The system provides 2 methods for defining shifts. If “Span Loading” is checked then “Time Spans” are used. If it is not checked then “Time Bands” are used.
Time Bands
The system will determine the shift by stepping through the shift start and end times. This means the following questions are asked in sequence. If the shift meets the requirements of the question then no further questions are asked.
1. If the shift starts between the “Morning Shift Start” and the “Day Shift Start” then it is morning shift.
2. If the shift starts and ends between “Day Shift Start” and “Day Shift End” then it is a day shift.
3. If the shift is not a day shift and it starts after “Day Shift Start” then it is an afternoon shift.
4. If the shift is not any of the above then it is a night shift.
Time Spans
If using “Time Spans” the employee is paid based on the hours worked in each shift. In the following example if they work from 14:00 to 22:00 they would be paid for 4 hours of day and 4 hours of night.
