Assignment Source

The Assignment Source screen displays all the assignment source records currently set up in the system. These records are used to set up assignments, which are rules used for calculating time and attendance information, for scheduling employees, or for calculating benefits. Examples of assignment sources are On Call, Lunch, Shift Differential (ShiftDiff) ,or Maximum Work Stretch (MaxWrk).

The assignment source records establish specific information about an assignment, including the type of criteria used to determine which employees should be given that assignment. For example, if an assignment could be based on either an employee's job class, organization unit or daily hours, these options would be selected in the Assignment Determination screen.

The values for a specific rule are assigned to employees using Assignment Codes.

There are many standard Assignment Sources included in the system. Most of the fields of the Standard records are not editable. However, standard records can be replicated (copied) and the values modified to create a customized assignment source record.
