Shift Categories

Use the Shift Categories screen to differentiate the various types of shifts at your property. For example, you might have a shift dedicated to training new employees or a shift for employees who are working on contract. These categories appear as choices when adding a shift in the Employee View of Timeline Scheduling. For more information, see Working with shifts in Timeline Scheduling.
