<p>Use this master to defien all the shifts within the company</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>For each shift, you provide starting time, ending time and lapse of time allowed. You can mark one shift as a default shift. Default shift is considered for all the employees for whome shift scheduling is not done (eg. for clarical staff or officer staff who always come in general shift). So, default shift can be considered as general shift.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the time of attendance calculation, if the employee is planned to work in specific shift then his/her in-out time will be compared with shift start and end time and only those many hours will be considered as present which are as per shift in - out time. The time emoloyee has worked out side shift timings will be considered as shift-out time. Shift out time can be treated as overtime hours if employee has worked fully in the shift and also outside shift. The over time however has to be requested by the employee and to be approved by the supervisor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>If the shift duration is for 8 hours and if the employee has worked for less than 8 hours in the shift the system will check laspe time allowed. If lapse time allowed is 30 minutes and if the employee has worked for &gt;= 7.5 hours then he wil be marked present, if he has worked &lt; 4 hours then he will be marked absent and if he has worked between 4 and 7.5 hours then he will be marked half day.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>There are other rules for attendance calculation. Refer to Attendance calcualtion program document for the same.&nbsp;</p>
