Shifts & Awards
Each shift must be a part of an award. So in this way, shifts help define an award just like accrual entitlements do.
Shifts are allocated to awards in the 'Shifts 6' tab of the award.

Click on the down arrow next to 'Available Shifts' and select the shift to be allocated. It's number will now appear in 'Selected Shifts'. Setting of the minimum amount of time separating selected shifts in 'Shift Rules' helps e-PayDay® assign in and out times to a particular shift.
Fields are provided for the minimum and maximum hours in the working week for any employee linked to this award. If the answer to the prompt 'Apply Maximum/Minimum settings during Merge Times in TimeCard' is 'Yes', then the hours coming out from the timecard to the pay envelope will be curtailed in accordance with these settings.
