Expected Hours

Every day the employee is processed according to the shift rules. The rules applied depend on the Daily Shift set for that day. This shift might be fixed (via the Payroll Shift or via Daily Rostering) or it might be variable (according to the options set in the Payroll shift.) Expected Hours includes all the categories of time that has been worked. When comparing the time worked against what is expected, the Total column is the one used for the comparison, i.e. all time categories are taken into account and their effect on the Total is applied. In this case you can set the Expected hours for an employee directly and they will then override any other expected settings set for the shift of an employee. When viewing the employee's payroll hours, the Expected time is displayed in the column to the left of the Total Hours column. If the Total Hours is less than the Expected Hours, the Total Hours is then displayed in Red. Note: It should be noted that Expected Employee Hours is only for Payroll hours.
