Time Advantage

Sometimes employees schedules do not follow a set pattern making scheduling more difficult. A Potential is a list of all the schedules an employee can "potentially" work. When an employee punches In and Out, Time Advantage will compare the punch times to the list of schedule and determine which on the employee worked on that day. All exceptions will be based on this determination. Nursing is a good example for Potential Schedules. Nurses typically rotate through 3 shifts, 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM. A Potential Schedule with those 3 Start and Stop times would satisfy scheduling for them.

Please Note: When using Potential Schedules it is necessary to also assign a Schedule Template (Master Schedule). The master Schedule should be open with no Start or Stop times. Also, items such an Auto Lunch, Lunch Minutes, etc. should be set up in the Open Schedule.
