In many companies, shift planning is still done in spreadsheets. This usually means that staff data is not synchronized with the HR system and has to be duplicated. For those who use SAP HR , everything is in place to take a step further. SAP Shift Planning is an integral part of the solution.
The planning process is based on defined requirements: The number of people on current shifts, with the specified position group and qualification requirements.
Furthermore, the system benefits from the organisational affiliation of the employees, work schedules, position, qualifications, absences, etc.
The tight integration also allows close follow-up of AML overtime. Updated balances from time evaluation can be shown in the planning picture. Thus, better governance is ensured in relation to the legislation.
Deviations to your needs are easily visible with intuitive color codes. The manager can get suggestions on who is available and who has the right expertise to meet the need. With simple keystrokes, they can change scheduled shifts.
There is also functionality to highlight one or more employees, and send SMS with requests directly from the solution.
Sensible use of shift planning can save costs for hiring substitutes. Those who from day to day are persuasive in a department can easily be made available to other departments that have shortages.
