To use this tab, select the crew you wish to affect by clicking in the box  associated to their record. You can also select records by right-clicking on the record and choosing Check All.

 

Set the starting and ending dates and times and indicate whether the time reflect an Overtime rate. Once set, press the Add button and the entry is added to the right pane for the checked items.

 

You can overlap service times for an individual over one or more services. When the Temp – Allow Overlapping Service Hours flag is checked within an employee’s Personnel Setup record, the application allows you to add entries that overlap. This overlap can be on one or more services that the employee performed work under.

 

You can only add overlapping times if all selected personnel have the Temp – Allow Overlapping Service Hours flag set on their Personnel Setup record. The application displays (Temp) next to each Role for each person that has this flag set.
