Flexible Shift

The flexible shift is a default attendance shift in the system and is a cycle of the flexible timetable within a week. If an employee works in a flexible schedule and attendance checking is required, a flexible shift can be arranged. If an employee has a punching record without a shift arranged, the attendance is calculated based on flexible shifts and classified as some overtime such as overtime on days off or on holidays.

For example, if employees in a certain department only work when there are assignments and perform normal check-in and check-out, the flexible shift will be adopted by default when checking on work attendance for them. Every check-in time and check-out time will be displayed and even number of overtime times will be recorded.
