Working Patterns

The Working Patterns app, is used to indicate the normal working days and time of each employee. You can setup a working pattern using following steps :

Step 1 : Create Working Pattern record

You can create Working Pattern in 2 ways:

1. Generic Org/Role level working pattern - applicable for staff that works on same working pattern.

2. Indiviual/Employee Specific Working Pattern

Go to "Working Pattern" app and click "Add New Record".

Provide a name for the working pattern (use an employee's name if creating for a specific employee) and select the working week repeat pattern e.g. 1 week, 2 weeks or 4 weeks and populate the start time, end time and break duration for each day when the employee works.

Step 2 : Assign Working Pattern to an Employee

Once you have added the Working Pattern record, navigate to the Employee's profile record and click on "Edit" and then in the "Work" tab, select the newly the created "Working Pattern" record in the dropdown and click Submit.

Importance of setting up Working Pattern

You must setup Operational Hours for each of your employee as these are used in following apps for important automations :

Auto Populate - Rota/Schedules

Working Pattern data is used in the Auto Populate function of the Rota app where WorkDigital can create 1 or more weeks rota automatically for you with just few clicks.

Time Off/Holidays Duration Calculation

When an employee creates a time-off/holiday request, WorkDigital will automatically determine the number of holiday duration that an employee has requested the holiday for based on their Working Pattern data.
