About Work Codes

A work code defines your work status. Work codes are used to manage time, staff personnel, and solve payroll needs.

The behavior of each work code is highly configurable and dynamic. For this reason, you may find that some work codes require approval, and others do not. Sometimes a work code is automatically approved, and sometimes that same work code requires approval. This is due to Dynamic Issues and Static Issues that may be linked to a work code which affects that work code’s behavior upon entry.

Dynamic and Static issues are used to prevent codes from being entered into the application when a work code fails a system defined business rule (Dynamic), or a system rule (Static).

IMPORTANT
  • Each work code is configured to meet scheduling requirements. Not all fields enable, or require data entry. The system will prompt you when data is required.
  • When a work code request is in violation of any business rule a Dynamic issue or Static issue will either prevent you from entering the work code, or the application will convert the work code into a Request, or allow you to override that issue. Whether a user can override an issue depends on their application permissions.
  • An asterisk icon displays next to a work code request. Both the regular duty work code and the work code request will appear when an employee submits the request. The regular duty work code withdraws from the Roster once the request has been approved.
