There is an option on the Daily Schedule screen that allows you to take one shift, i.e. 6:00am – 7:00pm and create two smaller shifts, i.e. 6:00am – 12:00pm and 12:00pm – 7:00pm.

The Daily Schedule screen will now appear with two unfilled shifts, 6-12 and 12-19 (7pm). The Day Code will remain the same (code and description).

Splitting an Assigned Shift

The following PSW shift from 6am to 7pm, assigned to Derrick Arnew, will be split (see above for process to split shifts).

Enter in the time where the shift is to be split at. In this case 12.00pm (noon) has been entered:

By default, the employee originally assigned to the shift before the split will be assigned to the first portion of the shift. Derrick's shift shows a start time of 6.00 and ends at 12.00.

The second half of the split shift shows as an unfilled shift starting at 12.00 and ending at 18.00.

The Active Schedule will display the shift with the manual shift icon visible (hand) as well as the red icon indicating that the time was adjusted.
