Concept: Self-Service Changes to Work Schedules

You can configure the extent to which workers can edit their own schedules on the

Create Work Schedule Calendar

task.

Self-service workers can select a day on their work schedules to access the

Edit My Schedule

dialog and make a change that is effective on that date. They can add an

End Date

to limit the change or leave the field blank to make the change recurring. Workers can only modify present or future dates; they can't modify scheduled days in the past.

If workers leave the field blank, their recurring change will override all other work schedule assignments, including their default assignment and any new assignments. You can manually add end dates to recurring work schedule changes in mass using the

Mass Update My Schedule Assignments Without End Date

task.

The

Edit Days Individually

dialog enables workers to make changes that are specific to different days of the week in the schedule patterns.

Audrey is scheduled to work every weekday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Starting in July, she needs to come in to work earlier and leave earlier every day. Audrey uses the

Edit My Schedule

dialog to change her daily schedule to 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM effective on July 1, with no end date.

For the month of July she also needs to leave early on Fridays, at 1:00 PM, so she uses the

Edit Days Individually

dialog to make the change effective on July 1 and ending on July 31.

Her manager schedules everyone on his team, including Audrey, time to attend a company meeting on the first Friday in July, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. He also assigns her a new work schedule for the last week of July, where she works from 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM. However, Audrey has a recurring change in effect (7:30 AM to 3:30 PM) that takes precedence over her new schedule assignment, so she must manually edit the last week of her schedule for July to match the work schedule assigned to her for that week.

As a result, this is what her schedule for July looks like:
