Create a shift rotation policy

Updated inĀ February- 2024 |Ā Subscribe to watch greytHR how-to video

A shift rotation policy is when employees are assigned to different work shifts in a regular cycle. Instead of always working the same shift, they switch between day, evening, and night shifts based on a set pattern. This is done to make sure resources are used well and employees are not overwhelmed.

The Shift Rotation Policy page in the greytHR Admin portal allows you to create a rotation policy for a regular as well as split shifts. You can also view and edit/delete the existing shift rotation policies on this page. When you create a shift on the Shift page, a shift rotation policy automatically appears on the Shift Rotation Policy page.

To view the Shift Rotation Policy page, click the Settings icon > System Settings > Attendance > Shift Rotation Policy.

You can perform the following actions on the Shift Rotation Policy page:Ā 

  1. Create a shift rotation policy for regular shift.

  2. Update shift rotation policy with split shift details.Ā 

āš ļø We recommend you to contact the greytHR support team before making any changes in settings.
