Atlas Scheduling makes it quick and easy to schedule training shifts for your employees.
Creating a training shift
To create a training shift:
Go to the Schedule tab.
Click on New shift for the desired employee and day.
Select the Training option.
Enter the start and end times.
Enter the position.
Enter any other relevant information (break, tasks, and so on).
By default, the Automatic clock-in option will be checked. If you want your employee to clock in and out, uncheck it.
Click Create.
The shift will then have the word Training in the schedule so that you and employees can easily spot planned training.
Note: You can deactivate the default automatic clocking-in option. To do so, an administrator must:
Go to the Settings tab.
Select the Scheduling submenu.
Select or scroll to the Shift settings section.
Deactivate the Automatically clock in/out for planned training shifts option.
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.
Adding a course to the timesheet
To add a training shift to an employee's timesheet (Scheduling > Attendance > select the employee):
In the employee's attendance sheet, click on the plus (+) icon for the day in question to add a time entry.
Select the Training option.
Enter start and end times.
Enter breaks if required.
Confirm location and position.
Click on Save.
The time entry marked Training will then appear in the employee's timesheet.
Export training shifts with payroll
You can 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. See how to export payroll here.
