Weekend Staffing Assignments

The Weekend assignment is used to automatically schedule employees to work weekend shifts. This ensures that the weekend shifts are being fairly distributed. Weekend assignments are given to employees based on their

Home Labor Distribution.

The home labor distribution of an employee indicates the main organization unit where the employee is assigned. The Home labor distribution assignment is used to determine the access Roles and processing Assignments for the employee and also to determine whether employees are included in reports and other processing (such as calculations and scheduling).

The primary home labor distribution assignment specifies the main job class/position of the employee within the home labor distribution. An employee can only have one effective Primary Home labor distribution assignment effective, but may have multiple Alternate Home labor distribution assignments (same organization unit as the Primary Home but with a different job class/position) and Alternate labor distribution assignments (different organization unit than the Home labor distribution).

Note: All labor distribution assignments for an employee are set up on the Labor Distribution screen in the employee record. For more information, see the Employee section>Labor Distribution screen>Primary Home Labor Distribution.

Automatic population of weekends for employees who do not have core schedules uses need-based scheduling passes. For more information on required configuration, see Need-Based Scheduling Set Up.

Note: Weekend schedules are “need based” and employees are scheduled up to the established staffing levels. If all eligible employees should be assigned, the staffing level needs can be increased for that day.

Note: The assignment configuration in this documentation is used for the staffing of weekends only and does not determine any weekend pay differentials.

An employee's assignments can be viewed on the employee record on the TCS screen, on the Assignments card. Employee assignments are updated when the scheduling process is run or a schedule is added to the schedule screen.

Note: The Assignments option must be selected in the Preferences section>My Preferences card>Time Card Screen for the Assignments card to display in the TCS screen.
