What is Unscheduled Hours in Workforce TNA?
Unscheduled Hours is a feature available to use with the Scheduling module in Workforce TNA. Unscheduled Hours occur when an employee works outside of their rostered shift times, such as clocking in early, clocking out late, or working additional time that was not included in the original schedule.
Example:
An employee is rostered to start work at 8:00 AM but clocks on at 7:30 AM. The additional 30 minutes worked before the scheduled start time are recorded as Unscheduled Hours.
How Unscheduled Hours Work
On timesheets this time is displayed separately in an Unscheduled Hours column (the column name may vary depending on your system configuration).
By default, unscheduled hours are excluded from shift totals and payroll exports.
Managers can then approve the hours by hovering over the Unscheduled Hours number and selecting the green tick to approve it. Once approved, the unscheduled hours are merged into the employee’s shift totals, overtime calculations, any other applicable daily rule settings based on hours worked and will be included in payroll exports.
Notes:
- Scheduling will need to be approved for unscheduled hours to apply.
- If Pay Period Rules are also in use, the unscheduled payroll code may need to be updated to not be included in those settings.
