Create Shift Rules

Create Shifts.

You can create criteria and rules to ensure your shifts and shift settings apply in specific scenarios. Rules can limit the shifts that display to managers while creating and editing a job or work order. The configured rules can also determine how shift settings are applied and enforced.

From the header, select

Company Settings

From the

Timekeeping

section, click

Shifts

From the

Shift Rules

tab, click

Create

As you create the shift rule, consider:

Option	Description
Criteria	Add criteria to define scenarios when your configuration should be applied. The criteria display from the least specific to most specific. Workday VNDLY evaluates and uses the most specific criteria for the rule. Example: You create 2 shift rules for an IT worker located in California: Rule 1 Criteria: Subdivision: California, Shift = Shift A. Rule 2 Criteria Job Template: IT Subdivision: California, Shift = Shift B. Workday VNDLY applies Rule #2 because it's the more specific rule.
Shift Strategy	Select Dedicated to enable managers to assign a single shift to a contractor on a work order. Select Flexible to enable managers to assign more than 1 shift on a work order.
Shift Differentials	Select the Enable Shift Differentials toggle to add shift differentials to the shift. Before you can Enable Shift Differentials , you need to select: A currency for the Currencies criteria. At least 1 shift. If you don't know what differential to apply yet, select None as the Shift Differential Type . This selection creates a placeholder for the Shift Differential Type , so you can enter the differential later.

Shift rules automatically trigger and apply if there are criteria that match when you create a job from a template that has shift selection.

All criteria must match before VNDLY applies the rule.

Example: You want to have night shifts available for Bindery Operator jobs located in Charlotte, North Carolina and want to encourage contractors to take those shifts. You create a rule where the:

Location

Charlotte

for the

Criteria

Currencies

US Dollar (USD)

Shift Strategy

Dedicated

Shift

Night Shift

Shift Differentials

is enabled and

Shift Differential Type

Bill Rate + Rate Differential

with

Rate Differential

is 5.00 for a 5 dollar increase in the hourly rate.

You then select the Bindery Operator job template with shifts selection enabled and select Charlotte as the location. The

Shifts

fields now populate with the information that you specified in the rule.
