Use cases for Shift type statistics
Illness/Absence reports
If you have applied a Shift type for illness or absence, you can use this to view a tailored report. For example, you can generate a report on your Shift type, per department, per calendar month.
Punctuality reports
By assigning a late arrival Shift type to employees, you can use this to keep track of punctuality records over a given time period.
Overtime reports
By assigning a shift type to overtime, you can track how many hours your employees are working overtime and assess its impact on your revenue.
