(Jobs – Jobs Setup - Shifts)
Workers can optionally be assigned to “shifts” (such as the day shift, swing shift, graveyard shift, etc.) for two purposes:
| • | Shifts can be used to define break times (such as coffee breaks and lunch breaks) that can automatically be deducted from actual labor hours entered in the Job Labor screen. |
| • | Shifts can be used to categorize workers by shift for reporting purposes. |
