WinTeam - Split Shifts

Overview

There are new features to identify potential split shifts in Timekeeping. Some states have a Premium Mandate which means workers who earn the minimum wage are entitled to an additional one hour's pay when their work includes a split shift. A split shift occurs when an employee's shift is interrupted by an involuntary unpaid period greater than a lunch or break. The new features in WinTeam help identify potential split shifts so additional analysis can be done to ensure compliance.

There is a new check box labeled Enable Split Shift Tab in TK Exceptions on the Timekeeping and Overtime Setup tab of the PAY: Defaults window. When it is selected, a new Exceptions filter for Split Shifts displays in the PAY: Timekeeping window when the View is By Employee.

To accompany the release of the split shift exception filter, existing functionality in WinTeam that was previously labeled "Split Shift" or referred to split shifts, has been renamed to "Day Divide" to distinguish it from true split shifts. This will help to prevent confusion and to clarify the existing functionality, which is not related to the legal definitions around split shifts. Table references to the day divide have not been changed and may still contain "Split Shift" when using various reporting solutions.

Tip:  See WinTeam - Split Shifts for details.

PAY Defaults

There is a new check box labeled Enable Split Shift Tab in TK Exceptions on the Timekeeping and Overtime Setup tab of the PAY: Defaults window. Select this check box to enable the feature–the checkbox is cleared by default.

PAY Timekeeping

When the Enable Split Shift Tab in TK Exceptions checkbox is selected in PAY Defaults, a new exceptions filter for split shift displays in the PAY: Timekeeping window when the View is by By Employee. This filter does not display when the View is By Job.

The Timekeeping record for a single employee who has multiple shifts in one day that meet the following criteria display in the Split Shifts tab:

  • Gap between shifts is a least X minutes–Two or more shifts are this many minutes apart (the default value is 60 minutes)
  • Gap is smaller than X hours–The time between the two shifts is less than this many hours (the default value is 14 hours)
  • All shifts have both In and Out times

Note:  Two sequential shifts (such as those one minute apart due to day divide or shift splitting) both display in the results set as separate record with a drill-down button.
