Creating a Single Time Sheet Split Shift : ClockOn Knowledge Base

When rostering it is easy to create a spit shift for an employee who is performing different roles during by creating multiple shifts on that day, however this will also create multiple timesheets and it is likely that the staff will clock only against the first of these shifts. The outcome is that when validating the timesheets you will need to clean up the multiple time sheets and not done in the correct way there is a possibility that the costing of those time sheets wont be correct.

There is a solution! It will requires some initial setup but once setup you will be able to use the special rates function to create these split shifts and if they are regular you can set them up in your roster template to speed up the process even more.

This use of special rates for Spit shifts used by a number of industries. Most commonly it is used by Hotels, Pubs, Clubs, Medical Centers and Hospitals

Basically the steps are:

Create the required special rate/s (for the split shift) in the required Rate Schedules
Applying the Special Rate to the employees
Apply the special rate to the Rostered shift or Time sheet

Creating Role based Special Rates.

Typically a Special rate will be created to apply a different rate of pay for a part or all of a time sheet however, in this example we will be using Special rates to apply a different role to a rostered shift or time sheet.

Navigate to Setup > Rate Schedules
Double click on the Rate set that you wish to apply the special rate too. (If you have a number of different rate sets you will need to add the special to each of the Rate sets)
Click on the Special Rates tab
Click on the Add button to create a new special rate
In the newly create special rate add the following:
1. Name: Name the Role that you want to show on the Roster reports and in Payroll
2. Role: Select the Role that is to be the 2nd part of the split shift (Department; Role)
3. Type: +/- $ (This is to add or minus the amount of the rate to the part of the shift)
4. Rate: $0 (by selecting 0 it will not effect the amount that is being paid.
  NOTE: you can select the type Percentage and Rate 100% also and it will work
If you have multiple Roles that you want split shifts for then repeat steps 4 & 5
Once the split shifts have been created click on Save
Repeat this for all of the Rate sets that require these role splits
