Rotating shift work schedule

hi, thanks for taking time to read this.
i work a rotating swing shift each month. basically one week of each.
7 nites followed by 2 days off
6 afternoons followd by 2 days off
7 days followed by 4 days off
repeat
as you can see i need to refer to a calandar to schedule any appointments and what not. also my friends and family need to refer to this also. i hand out calandars pre-marked each xmas
i am looking for ideas to enter my work schedule easily for the year(s)
into iCal without doing each month by hand, each year.
anyone have an idea for this? also hoping to be able to launch the daily script based on my shift. as the cron needs to be changed each time i shift change or it gets missed.....

thanks for the input. i made the beginning of each shift an event theat lasted the length of the shift, say 7 days. then had this repeat every 28 days.
each shift is its own calandar so the bar it draws across the shift dates is unique color for each shift. i then made a calandar group for all three shift calandars so they all display together, color coded.
now i just have to make the scripts run from iCal and i am done. or load a different crontab file for each shift, or something.
i'm gettin it. thanks so much for helping me out!

  • How to setup a rotating shift work calendar?

    I cannot get my calendar setup for 12 hour shifts. My old android phone did it.  My schedule was for example. Work: mon tues wed thur. 6pm to 6am
    Next set work: tues wed thur fri.   Please help
    Thanks

    I think apple remove this feature on purpose to force people to use ical and their me accounts. You'll notice when you're setting up events on those calendars you do get a second alert. It used to work fine for me before upgrading to ios5...so...naughty apple

  • I have a rotating shift schedule that I work. Is there anyway to have this schedule on the home screen of my iphone so I can just open it up?

    I work a rotating shift. I would like to post my shift schedule on the home page (screen with all the apps) so I can access my schedule easier. Is this possible?

    You cannot post a shortcut to the calendar app. There wouldn't be a way unless you access this schedule via Safari, where you could post a shortcut.

  • Issue with Unpaid Absence for Rotating Shift Employees with Averaging Hours

    We run a biweekly payroll where full time employees are paid based on an 80 hr work shift per pay period.    We have a requirement where employees in production are on a rotating shift.  They may work 80, 88 or 72 hrs per pay period because  their work schedule rule is defined this way.  However, regardless if they worked 80, 88 or 72 hrs, these employees should still be paid based on 80 hrs of work (overtime will be paid extra).  Currently, our system handles it this way.  
    However, a problem comes up when the employee has an unpaid absence for the period. The WT  /801 is calculating a factor that results in incorrect pay.  For example, if an employee has an hourly rate of $10 (biweekly rate of $ 800), with a work shift of 88 hrs and 24 hrs unpaid absence for the period, the rule KPPF is calculating the factor (/801) to be: 64/88 = .7272, and therby paying 581.76 ($800 x .7272).   The calculation of /801 comes from the formula:
          total hrs worked (88) - unpaid hrs (24)
                    total hrs worked (88)
    Given our requirement, the correction calculation for the factor  should be:
      80 - 24    = .7
         80
    and the correct pay should be $560 ($800 x .7)
    I tried modifying rule KPPF, along with KPP0 and KPP1 and was able to make it work to fit our requirements.  However, the modification I made only works when there is only 1 WPBP record.  If there are multiple WPBP records , possibly caused by an personnel action , change of IT0007 or  IT0008 in the middle of the pay period,  it becomes way too complicated to modify the rule to handle each and every scenario.
    If anyone has come across a similar requirement, I would really appreciate if you could assist on how this should be handled.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Amosha,  Here is the PCR for calculating the factor during an unpaid absence:

  • How to create/maintain individual work schedule instead of employee subgr.

    Res.all.
    We want to create a work schedule for every employee as they may come in any shift.we are implimenting negative time mgt.
    As in sap we have to group our employees for work schedule,can anybody guide on this.
    Regards
    sammeer

    Hi Sameer,
    Y u Want to go with Individual WSR its impossible to configure.
    Do one thing Create all types of shifts and in Period Work Schedule normally u assign it in normal rotation.
    Now In your scenario maintain for each employees IT2051 in which his WSR from IT0007 will be maintained directly. Now when an employee changes from the proposed shift then you can directly maintain in IT2051 his actual shift.
    Now daily Time administrator should run a report where in he must have all employees actual shift and tell him to directly upload each employee's IT2051.
    Try this

  • Rotating Shift in 24/7 Env

    HI All,
    Employees will work in different shifts.
    3 Shifts have to configure and employees should work 6 days perweek and they have 1 day weeklyoff  .
    3 shifts should nt have the commom weekly off and in the same shift also employees should nt have the common weekly off
    Employee belonging to the same dept may have diff shifts , how to group this.
    Looking for an helpful answer

    Hi
    you can configure the rotating shifts in one PWS, In fact I mentioned the same in my first message.
    ex;
    in
    10 PWS1 morning-shift-sunday week off 001 morn morn morn morn morn morn off
    create another row with                           002 Even even even even even even off
    create another row with                           003 night night night night  night night  off
    now if you generate the Work Schedule for this PWS then it will like the employee for the first week will come in morn shift with sunday as day off and next week as evening shift with sunday as day off and next week as night shift with sunday as day off.... like this in a cycle keeps repeating for entire year..
    simillary continue the next PWS with
    10 PWS2 morning-shift-saturday week off 001 morn morn morn morn morn OFF morn 
    create another row with                           002 Even even even even even OFF even
    create another row with                           003 night night night night  night OFF night 
    hope you got this logic... !

  • Need Help in Calculation of Paid and Unpaid Break in Daily Work Schedule

    hai,
    I am a student of SAP-HCM. I am having problem with the calculation
    in Paid and Unpaid Break in Daily work schedule (Time Management).
    Please help.
    thank you
    Dev.

    Hi,
    The above screen shot is table where we maintain unpaid and paid breaks, we mention about when a break has to start under START tab and when it has to end under END button.
    Under UNPAID and PAID tabs we mention duration of break,  if its 15 mins break or half an hour or one hour depending on start and end timings.
    Suppose a shift is for 9 hours in total and client wants there should be a paid break of one hour, then out of this 9 hours shift itself  break would be considered.... and in case client wants unpaid break then shift would be for 10 hours out of which 9 hours will be working hours and one hour break.
    When this concept has to be calculated in schema processing type would be assigned to this time pair showing break accordingly either paid or unpaid.

  • Work Schedule Mass Changes of Timing

    Dear All
    I have to change timings of different shifts and work schedules for the whole organization only for one month. We have almost 400 shifts and its not easy to change timings manually one by one. Is there any way for mass change.
    Thanks in advance.

    Basically  its a govt decisison to save enrgy.
    Timings of all locations has changed for one month.
    E.g Location1 orignal Time was 8:30 to 5:00 PM
    New Time 8:00 to 2:30 PM.
    Location2 Orignal Time was 8:00 to 4:00
    New Time is 7:30 to 2:00.
    Similary there is change in driver and machinery workers shifts and there are many locations.

  • What are reasons to generate work schedules-not using SAP payroll or TM?

    We have SAP ECC 6 HR and only pass a work schedule rule to our proprietory payroll system and have our own time and attendance system.  The extent of our TM in SAP is just to have work schedules to attach to positions IT1011 and IT0007 on the employees.  We are a very large 24/7 organization and have nearly 20,000 work schedules in use.  It the past we have generated them out for 3 years and regenerate them as the come close to expiring.
    My question is - what are some basic reasons for generating a work schedule?  In our implementation I can't seem to find out why we need to continue doing it.  We are able to attach an ungenerated work schedule to a position and a person.
    Thanks in advance for any insight.

    Generally the reasons why you would have a works schedule is for leave deduction, and possibly accruals, and also for automatic generation of overtime and shift penalties, public holidays.  It could also further link into separate systems for payment purposes, or for attendance checks (i.e. EHS, rostering, training & event mgt, Sales & Distribution).
    However, if your rostering/award interpretation is being handled in a separate system, and this information is being passed to a separate payroll system, then it would seem redundant to have work schedules in SAP.

  • Fastest way to enter multiple events (monthly work schedule)?

    I have a question that has been driving me mad. I am wondering what is the fastest ways to enter multple events into iCal.
    Every month, my wife gets her work schedule which is composed of various shifts throughout the week. What I would like to do, ideally, would be to set up an excel spreadsheet with a few variables (time on, time off, date, etc) and then have automator take all of that info and create the months worth of events in iCal.
    I am sick of having to click and drag each event and work through 20+ events each month because it simply takes too long. iCal must have an easy way to do this that I am unaware of. Any help?

    Happy first post! (unless you have been posting for ages and the new system has lost your record
    My teaching schedule changes from time to time. I keep a copy of it in a text file. When it changes, I edit the text file then run an applescript which removes all entries in iCal calendar timetable, then uses the text file to make a new set of entries. I use a text file because it is also the html file that I use to post a copy on my web server, but the script could fairly easily be modified to pull the data from a spreadsheet. You are welcome to have a copy to play around with.
    How does your wife's new schedule arrive? If it is by email, then you could consider having the email fire off the script, and pull the data directly from the mail.

  • Substitutions display in Personal work schedule

    Hi,
    I have a client that captures several substitutions for an employee for a specific day or period. Of the four substitution types, 3 substitutions are marked with the reduced working hours flag. This in turn, allows the client to capture several substitutions and to run the personal work schedule report successfully.
    They now want to run the report displaying all substitutions, which would require de-activating the RWH flag. If this is done, then the personal work schedule report displays an error message for the days that more than one substitution has been captured.
    My question is, how can I display more than one shift substitution on one specific day within the personal work schedule without doing development.
    Regards
    TS

    Hi,
    1. Check for the following customisation:
           Group  Personnel Subareas for the Work Schedule
           Group  Personnel Subareas for the Daily Work Schedule
           Define Employee Subgroup Groupings
           Define Groupings for the Public Holiday Calendar
           Set Work Schedule Rules and Work Schedules
           Define Counting Classes for the Period Work Schedule
           Set Personnel Subarea Groupings for Time Recording
    2. In case if the error is coming for one employee just check the latest IT 0000 record and see if the WSR assigned is valid for the respective PSA and ESG's else neglect this point.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,
