6 Week Activity Needs Variance

This report is populated by the Core Staffing by Activity Code feature. For more information, including detailed setup instructions, see the Core Staffing by Activity Code User Guide located on the Client Connections website.

Prior to Staffing and Scheduling version 09.00.02, Core Staffing was only done by coverage period. The needs were established on the Core Staffing Template and the needs appeared on the Self Schedule and the Schedule screens broken down by coverage period.

The existing functionality does not change. However, beginning in version 09.00.02, Core Staffing can be done by activity code. The needs that are established on the Core Staffing Template appear on the Self Schedule and Schedule screens broken down by activity code. This allows scheduling to be done by activity, rather than by coverage period.

It also eliminates the decimal values that can occur when a shift crosses into another coverage period. For example, an employee's shift may cover (partly or fully) two or three coverage periods. Even though this is correct, it can cause confusion.

Activity Needs Variance Reports

Also beginning in version 09.00.02, three Staffing and Scheduling reports are available to help you view the Core Staffing by Activity Code details. These are the 2 Week-, 4 Week-, and 6 Week Activity Needs Variance reports.
