What's the purpose of a Work Type?
Work types allow you to easily mark that a shift includes extra duties or allowances. They also serve 2 special purposes relating to Work Flows in Advanced Workforce Management.
- Minimum Breaks. - The Automatic Break function requires a Minimum Break work type be configured.
- Public Holiday not Worked. - In order for Public Holidays to pay out correctly when an employee is not working (either due to Leave, or to not having a shift that day due to closure/short staffing) a Public Holiday not Worked work Type must be configured.
