Time preferences are time constraints on when work is to be started OR/AND ended.
Steps to be taken to mark the preferred working time of the employee:
1. Click on the selected employee and the day window in the work schedule
2. Choose Time preference.. item from the list
3. Complete time information as needed
Employee can start from 10 am - in this case you need fill information in Start from field only. When system planning the schedule would try to fulfil preference and plan shift from 10 am or earlier start. Employee should end equally at 6 pm - in this case you need fill information in End from / End to. If employee can end only at 6 pm and no other option, then to preference mandatory add range and fill both field with same information.
4. Click Save
The preference will be saved in the work schedule and displayed in the preference information day window.
Start/ end of work may be specified as a frame. To activate this function, tick the checkbox next to the note Specify start as a frame / Specify end as a frame. Having specified a frame, the system will have more flexibility in scheduling.
Should work - having marked with an asterisk, the system will schedule the employee according to the entered preference 100%. Choosing this functionality in exceptional cases only is recommended.
For example, having marked the start of work at 8:00 a.m., the end of work - at 5:00 p.m. and an asterisk (prefers to work this day), the system will schedule the employee for a shift from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
