Shift Codes

Form ID: (EP103000)

By using this form, you can create multiple work shifts and multiple rates for the calculation of pay increase for each work shift. Each rate within one shift must have a different effective date. An active shift (that is, a shift with the Active check box selected) can be specified for a time activity or earning entry to which a specific rate will be applied during the calculation of wages and, if applicable, labor costs. You cannot delete a shift code that is already specified for a time activity or earning entry.

This form is available only if the Shift Differential feature (under the Time Management group of features) is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
