Working with shift related standards

Create shift related standards to determine how work hours are distributed within a shift. There are several methods to choose from when determining how hours are distributed. You can choose to implement one method or use a combination of the following distribution methods to develop shift-related standards:

• Flowed—The Flowed distribution method distributes the work across the shift based on percentages by time period.

• Non-flowed—The Non-flowed distribution method distributes the work evenly across the shift.

• Opening—Select the Opening distribution method to specify the amount of time it should take to open the revenue center or department associated with this job.

• Closing—Select the Closing distribution method to specify the amount of time it should take to close the revenue center or department associated with this job.

• Share With—Use the Share With distribution method if you expect a salaried employee or supervisor to take on some of the work that would normally be assigned to another job. With this method, you enter the number of hours that the salaried employee or supervisor spends completing the work, so that the standard for the hourly associate is reduced. For example, the Front Desk Manager completes periodic check ins and check outs that would normally be completed by the Front Desk Clerk. Because this work is being completed by the Manager, the amount of work expected of the Clerk is reduced.

The Standards pane is available only if a job or assignment/sub-assignment is selected. The Standards pane is not available at the property, division, or department levels.
