Scheduling

Overview

General there are two ways to go about setting up a schedule. The first would be for schedules that are fairly static. Or in other words, schedules that don't change much. The other would be for schedules that change dramatically from week to week or pay period to pay period.

Setting Up Shifts

For either type of schedule, either those that change fairly regularly to those that don't, you must set-up Shifts.

Creating a Shift

To create a shift, you must be signed into your TimeMD.com account as a manager. See "Logging In" for more information. Once logged in, proceed to "Preferences -> Shifts". NOTE: You must have the Scheduler module activated in order to see this area.
