2 Setup - Step 08 - Shifts

The shift rotation system used by the Belina Time Control Module is centered on the setup of 'Shifts' (possibly using 'Slots') and 'Rotations'.  

Each day worked is a Shift.  That shift may, or may not, be made up of time 'Slots'.  The Shifts are then strung together into a Rotation.  

One of the examples given in the Belina User manual is for an organization whose administration department works a 5.5 day working week where Monday to Thursdays are worked from 8 to 5 with different clocking out times on  the Friday and Saturday.

Slots

If the employees are to clock in and out for breaks during the day, including lunch use 'Slots'.

For more information about using 'Slots' see FAQ topic : 'Setup - Step 7 - Slots'

Shifts

If 'Slots' are used to create the Monday to Thursday shift slots, in the example above, would be put together to form the Monday - Thursday Shift Administration Shift.

For those that choose not to use 'Slots' they would setup the above example as:

Shift 1 Start 08:00am

Shift 1 End 5:00pm

Breaks : 75 minutes (the morning break plus lunch)

For more information see the heading 'Shifts' under: Setup a Clock

Rotations

The shift, in the example above would then be put into a Shift Rotation together with other shifts which in our example would be the Friday and Saturday Administration shifts.

For more information about 'Rotations' see FAQ Topic 'Setup - Step 9 - Rotations'.
