Employees adhere to the highest schedule layer

When components on different layers on the schedule overlap in time, employees must adhere to the assignment on the highest layer.

For example, a shift assignment is on schedule layer 1. Calendar events are on layer 4. When the calendar event is scheduled, the employee must adhere to the activity of the calendar event, and not the activity of the shift.

Example: Adhering to the highest layer assignments

Define the following:

  • Shift from 9:00-5:00 PM - Answer phones

  • Working shift event from 11:00-3:00 PM - Research project

  • Non-working shift event from 12:00-1:00 PM - Lunch

  • Calendar event from 12:30-1:30 PM - Team meeting

Based on these defined layers of events, employees are evaluated for adherence based on the following schedule:

  • 9:00-11:00: Phone work

  • 11:00-12:00: Research

  • 12:00-12:30: Lunch

  • 12:30-1:30: Team meeting

  • 1:30-5:00: Phone work
