Work schedules refined in
Adapting to recurring schedules of any interval like bi-weekly
Building a flexible and transparent PTO (Paid Time Off) system starts with a well-defined work schedule. As you can see in the table below, I’ve created a structure that accounts for different shift types, durations, and even country-based variations. This post will walk you through the logic behind an advanced version of it and show you how to implement this in your own docs.
We start with the creation of work schedules. As you see it is row based.
Once we’ve defined our work schedule variations, we need an efficient way to apply them to our employees. That’s where this handy form comes in (see image below). With just a few clicks, we can select the employee, set the effective date (even for future scheduling!), and assign the appropriate work schedule variation for each day of the week. This ensures that everyone is on the correct schedule and simplifies PTO processing down the line.
