Shifts

In order for GIRITON to correctly calculate the amount of overtime, bonuses, etc…, it is necessary to have a shift set for each employee in the required length of working hours.

Attendance shifts are available in the User Menu (your name at the top left) - Attendance - Attendance shifts. Sample shifts (Morning, Afternoon, Night) are automatically created in the system including all necessary parameters and are thus ready for use, after registration. You can add shifts however you want or change the setting of existing ones. The number of shifts is not limited.

How to create a new shift

1. In the User Menu Attendance - Shifts - click the Add button at the top.

2. Enter its name, time from-to and other preferences in the newly offered shift. Each shift must have its own shortcut.

3. Save the changes.

Most often you will use individual shifts in the Shift plan agenda in which you create a plan for individual people for the following months.

If the shift schedule is repeated for some people or is always predetermined, we recommend you to create your own Shift Planner for that particular person.

Overtime breakpoint

This field can be used if we do not want every minute after the shift to be counted in the Compensatory leave.

Example:

  • The user will work 8:01 hours on Monday, 8:02 on Tuesday and 8:03 on Wednesday. He worked 8:15 a.m. on Thursday.
  • We set the breakpoint to 00:10 minutes.
  • Which means that from Monday to Wednesday there will be an alternate day off at 00:00.
  • On Thursday, there will be a spare time off at 00:15, if the Count only the portion after breakpoint check box is not checked.
  • If it is checked, the value of spare leave will be calculated up to the set limit, i.e. 00:05.

Shifts with optional working hours

In the extended settings, you can set Core working time and Optional working time, which determine a flexible shift layout. The planned shift is shown in the Attendance agenda with a solid line (Core working time) and a dashed line (Optional working time).

Flexible working hours are primarily created for office or office shifts where 8 hours are expected to be worked, which may not have a fixed start and end of working hours. In this case, the employee has a fixed time when he must be at work, and the rest of the working time is flexible. It is therefore up to the employee how to work the given shift.

Example:

The employee has to work 8 hours per day.

  • It is stipulated that he must be present at work from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (Basic working hours).
  • Optional working hours are set from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
  • It means that the employee has a set exact time when he has to be at work and it is entirely up to him whether he comes at 6 am and leaves at 2 pm or whether he comes at 10 am and leaves at 6 pm.
