Overview

Max hours Enforcement enables you to enforce the maximum amount of hours each employee can work per week when picking up OpenShifts. You can use this feature to:

• Prevent employees from taking too many OpenShifts or shift requests.
• Control your workforce labor costs.

Max hours enforcement uses the Max Hours/Week setting in the employee’s details. If you already have max hours set for all of your employees, enabling this feature enforces those hours.

Considerations

• Scheduling + Attendance accounts use already worked hours plus scheduled hours for today and future days to enforce the max hour totals.
• Scheduling only accounts use scheduled hours to enforce the max hour totals.
• Max Hours Enforcement does not take into account any overtime hours.
• Employees can still be scheduled past their configured max hours.
• Employees with max hours set to 0 are not impacted by Max Hours Enforcement.
• Employees that might exceed their max hours do not see OpenShifts are not included on shift requests.
