Projected PTO • Allows PTO balance to be projected into the future, for checking future PTO requests • When employees make PTO requests, and the current balance does not satisfy the request, the system projects the employee's balance out to the date of the PTO request. This creates a projected balance. The employee sees a warning similar to the following: • PTO Projection: current bal: 2.5; projhrs: 8.0; projbal: 10.5; proj date: 5/22/2011; #periods: 4. • This request depends on PROJECTED future PTO accrual.
Projected PTO • PTO requests that are based on a projected balance are flagged as "projected" requests. This is not a request status, it is a property of the request. Projected requests can be of any status (pending, denied, approved). • When a projected request is approved, no PTO items are added to the employee timesheet. Once accrued hours are available, PTO items are created for the timesheet, and the PTO request changes from a projected to a normal PTO request. • The Availability screen has a new filter "Projected only". (Main > Scheduling > Availability) • The Time-off Requests screen has several new status filters: (Main > Supervisor > Time-off Requests) • Projected: shows projected requests, any status. • Projected – approved: shows projected requests with a pending status • Projected – pending: shows projected requests with an approved status • When the PTO Accrual service runs each night, it attempts to fill projected requests that are approved

On-Call Shifts • On-Call shifts allow people to be scheduled for period of “on-call” time, and also to be scheduled for normal shifts with the on-call time. Correspondingly the system allows for several options for paying the on-call time and worked hours within on-call periods. • Eliminates Tying special Rates to Shifts • Eliminates Manipulating Hours on call Based on Call In’s
On-Call Shifts • Full Pay • Pay all on-call time. • All scheduled on-call hours are paid hours, regardless of how many standard-shift hours were worked during the on-call time. • Pay Overlap • Pay on-call time where standard shifts overlap. • Pay Non-overlap • Pay on-call time where standard shifts DO NOT overlap. • Full pay if under threshold • Pay all on-call time if person works less than [threshold] standard shift hrs.
Time off Policies • Allows Rules to Be Applied When Employees Requests Time Off • Dates & Priorities can be set for automatic approval of time off requests • Set Limits on How Many People can have TO per day (or per day & night) • Per region & Per Request • Attributes Constraints • Requests that violate policies can be denied or left on a pending list
Time Off Policies • Eliminates Large Quantities of People Taking off Particular Day (Christmas, etc.) • Allows for Auto Approval of Time Off – Decreasing Manual Labor • Keeps a running list in case prior employee leaves the company • Allows Blocking of High Volume Day Off
Punch Bulletins • General Reports -> Bulletins
Point Policies • Allow Employees to accrues disciplinary points when certain events occur • When employees exceed a threshold point total, they and their supervisors, receive a warning email notification • Points & events are stored in a detailed audit log for review and documentation
Point Policies • Punch in early • Punch in late • Punch out early • Punch out late • Partial shift • Points accrue when an employee works less than the total scheduled shift hours. • “Less than scheduled" is defined as a percentage of the scheduled shift hours, plus an optional number of minutes. Examples: "less than 50% of the shift", "less than 50% of the shift plus 60 minutes". • Points are not accrued until a supervisor line-item-approves the shift on a timesheet.
