BC Day covering for BC Shift OT

Modified on: Thu, Sep 19 2024 2:41 PM

There is a slight change when a Day BC is covering for a Shift BC. Admin BC’s are in Telestaff as working 4/10’s from 6 am - 4 pm. The Shift position doesn’t start until 7:30 am, so TeleStaff thinks that the BC is still working Admin from 6 am - 7:30 am and then working their Shift BC position. Telestaff puts 1.5 hours in on the Admin Roster. This has caused some questions from Finance as to why and if I can stop it from happening. I have changed the behavior of the work code (BC Day covering for BC Shift OT) to suppress the Admin Assignment and Vacancy so the Admin Roster doesn’t have the Admin BC working in Admin that day, they will only show up in Battalion 1 for that day.

When you add the work code BC Day covering for BC Shift OT, you will have to do the following, so TeleStaff shows time correctly.

  1. Select the vacant position and Fill by rules.

  5. Select the Work Code BC Day covering for BC Shift OT. When you make this selection, you will see that the 2 boxes for Suppress are checked. DO NOT touch these. Just save
