Rotas And Workforce Management makes it quick and easy to schedule training for your employees.


1- Creating a training shift

To create a training shift;

  1. Go to the “Rota” tab

  2. Click on “New shift” for the desired employee and day

  3. Select the “Training” option

  4. Enter the start and end times

  5. Enter the position

  6. Enter any other relevant information (break, tasks, etc.)

  7. By default, the “Automatic clock-in” option will be checked. If you want your employee to clock in and out, uncheck it.

  8. Click “Create”.

The shift will then have the word “Training” in the schedule so that you and employees, can easily spot planned training.

📌 Note that it is possible to deactivate the default automatic clocking-in option.

To do so, an administrator must;

  1. Go to the “Settings” tab

  2. Select the “Scheduling” submenu

  3. Select or scroll to the “Shift settings” section

  4. Deactivate the “Automatically clock in/out for planned training shifts” option.

  5. Click Save

This way, training shifts will not be automatically clocked in and out according to the schedule, and your employees will have to clock as they normally do.


2- Adding a course to the timesheet

To add a training shift to an employee's timesheet

  1. In the employee's attendance sheet, click on the “+” for the day in question to add a time entry.

  2. Select the “Training” option

  3. Enter start and end times

  4. Enter breaks if required

  5. Confirm location and position

  6. Click on “Save”

The time entry marked “Training” will then appear in the employee's timesheet.


4-Export trainings with payroll

It is possible to add the code corresponding to your training shifts to your payroll integration parameters, in order to export them to your payroll system.

To do this, an administrator must go to the “Settings” tab, then select the “Integrations” submenu and click on the integration to adjust the settings.
