Request to Work Tab
The Request to Work tab is used to set the values that determine the time frame of the "Request to Work Period" when Home employees are able to search for and select open schedules. The selection style used for validating scheduling rules when an employee adds a new request to work and when a supervisor approves the request is determined on this screen as well.
The Request to Work Period is a rolling time frame defined as the days on or after the Request to Work Begin Days value through the end of the schedule period that contains the Request to Work End Days value. These values are set up on the organization unit's Staffing Configuration (see ).
-
The value of the Request to Work Begin Days is added to the current day to determine the Request to Work minimum date.
For example, if this value is set to 3, employees can submit requests for available schedules starting three days after today. If this value is set to 0, employees can submit requests to work on the current date.
-
The value of the Request to Work End Days is added to the current day to determine the Request to Work maximum date.
The entire schedule period that contains this date will be open for Request to Work.
-
If the maximum date lands in the next schedule period, the entire next schedule period is also open for Request to Work.
Example
If the End Days value is set to 28, and there are 35 days remaining in the current schedule period, the rest of the current schedule period is open for Request to Work.
If the End Days value is set to 28, and there are only 19 days remaining in the current schedule period, the maximum date lands in the next schedule period. In this situation, the rest of the current schedule period and the entire next schedule period are open for Request to Work.
Request to Work Begin Days
The minimum number of advance days required when searching for available schedules and submitting a request to work.
Note
When this field contains a value, the Request to Work End Days field becomes enabled.
Request to Work End Days
The maximum number of days after the current date that the employee can submit a request to work. The entire schedule period that contains this date will be open for Request to Work.
Note
This field is required when the Request To Work Begin Days field contains a value. When the Request To Work Begin Days does not contain a value, this field is not enabled.
Request to Work Selection Styles
Determines the selection style to be used when validating whether an employee is allowed to work requested schedules.
For example, the selection style may validate that adding the new schedule will not cause the employee to go into overtime or will maintain a minimum rest interval. The rules included in each selection style are previously set up on the Selection Styles configuration screen with the Type of Edit Validation.
