Employee Work Schedule (ESCHD)
The Employee Work Schedule (ESCHD) transaction allows you to create and manage work schedule exceptions or overrides for an individual employee, when different from the current work schedule assignment. For example, you can modify specific work schedule dates and/or shifts within a schedule for the employee.
The Employee Work Schedule transaction contains the following tabs:
The Header tab allows you to select an Employee ID, Appointment ID, Work Cycle and Work Schedule Task to assign to the Employee Work Schedule transaction. If the employee is assigned to a work cycle for the day, that work cycle will be inferred.
The Header tab of the Employee Work Schedule transaction contains the following fields:
