Shift Time Template

Shift Time Template Overview
The 'Shift Time Template' is used to define standard work times (I.e. 8 am to 5 pm or 10 am to 4 pm.), or if the Employees work part-time. While Shift and Shift Time Templates might have similar names they serve very different functions. Shift Time Templates are the building blocks you use to build out a schedule freeform in the scheduling module, and they also get assigned within Shifts. Shifts are then assigned to Employees and allow you to generate weekly schedules at the touch of a button for multiple Employees.
Note: If an Employee does not have a Shift assigned to them, you can use the Shift Time Templates for on the fly scheduling.
