Assignment Code

The Assignment Code screen displays all the assignments in the system. These codes are used to define values for processing assignment rules and to determine which employees are included in each assignment.

For example, an assignment code can be created for the Maximum Work Stretch rule, setting the parameters for the days and hours that can be worked in a row. The assignment can then be given to all employees in department 3270, and/or to all employees with an RN job class and daily hours of 8.

Existing assignment code records can be replicated (copied) and modified to create a new assignment code record. All the indicator, parameter and range table category attributes of the original code are copied, so the set up required for the replicated code is much less.

Note  

For more information on setting up a new assignment code, see Steps for Creating an Assignment Code. For more information on replicating an existing assignment code, see Steps for Replicating an Assignment Code.
