Creating Schedules using iWFM

My Schedules

The My Schedules view in iWFM allows managers to schedule their employees to work. Schedules are created by location within the company. If a manager has access to more than one location, he/she must build a schedule for EACH location. Schedules can only be created for future time and on a week-by-week basis, regardless of pay frequency. Schedules are not visible to employees until the creating manager posts them.

iWFM automatically checks the schedules you create for problems, such as:

• Violations of labour laws, such as no meal breaks • Overlapping shifts • Scheduling an employee that is not available • Exceptions to your companies rules, such as minimum shift time • Scheduling an employee for overtime (gives you a warning)

Key Benefits of the My Schedules view:

• Provides managers with easy-to-use tool to build schedules • Validates the schedules according to your companies schedule policy • Displays planned and scheduled costs as changes are made to the schedule • Allows the schedule to be created from shift rotations, copied from previous weeks, manually

created, or generated automatically • Shows schedule efficiency score – for labour demands • Allows managers to keep a working copy of their schedules that employees cannot view until

posted

My Schedules Vs My Timesheets:

It is important to remember that schedules DO NOT define pay; timesheets define what your employees will be paid. Schedules only define when a person is required to work; timesheets reflect what the person actually worked.

Shifts Vs Rotations:

The cell displays the shift an employee is scheduled to work. A rotation is a weekly schedule made up of shifts that can be added to the schedule.

Schedule Creation

My Schedules allows you to create a schedule manually, copy a schedule from a previous week, or load shift rotations for employees. Shift Rotations are shifts (per your company requirements) that allow you to setup weekly schedules for your employees.

Page 41: INVIEW WORKFORCE MANAGEMENT (iWFM) AND POWEPAY … and PPWeb GSG.pdfdown lists. Schedule, Punch, and Pay policies control how the application adjusts pay, influences how employees

41

The process for creating a schedule is:

1. Load the schedule for the desired week and location.

2. Create the shifts for the schedule.

3. Evaluate and correct any problems in the schedule.

4. Post the schedule to make it visible to employees.

Schedule Rules

When creating a schedule, it is important for managers to follow these basic rules:

• You cannot add a schedule for past dates • Always Save and then Refresh a schedule before proceeding • Click the Post button to allow your employees to view the schedule

Multiple Managers Scheduling:

If an employee has a position under a different manager, both managers will see the employee’s schedule. The manager will only be able to change the schedule for the position he/she manages.

Schedule Views

There are two basic views managers can work with when creating a schedule: Grid View and Bar View. Split view is a combination of Grid and Bar view. You will be working with both views in this topic.

Grid view – displays the schedule shifts in cells on a grid, with a row for each employee and a column for each day. The total scheduled hours for each employee will appear in the far-right column and the total scheduled hours for each day will appear at the bottom of each column.

Bar view – displays the schedule using colored bars for each employee. The bars represent the shifts length, starting at the start time and ending at the employee’s shift end. The shift’s breaks are represented by the coffee cup.

Loading Timesheets

My Timesheets

Within iWFM, you can monitor attendance, edit time, and calculate pay using My Timesheets. For each employee, iWFM tracks when employees worked against when they were scheduled. You can compare the two sets of employee time, correct inaccuracies, or enter missing time. If your employee clock goes down for some reason, iWFM sends you an email notification, so you can enter times that were unable to be recorded in the My Timesheets section.

The My Timesheets view allows to:

• Display all timecards for all employees for an entire week • Allow managers to quickly view problems and exception records • Real time pay rule recalculates pay each time an edit is made • Audits all changes made to the timesheet • Robust reporting capability

In iWFM, errors are missed punches and must be corrected.

Some tips and tricks to help you navigate in My Timesheets are:

• Always Save then Refresh to view the most up-to-date timesheet • My Timesheets does NOT allow you to copy and paste (Ctrl C or Ctrl V) • Display Employee Totals – adds the employee’s total hours to the report • If your timesheet does not refresh, try logging off IWFM and logging back on

My Timesheets Icons

This application displays your employee’s time and attendance information for each shift, labeling the following shifts:

Symbol Description Explanation

Green Light Worked shifts that were scheduled. The employee was scheduled and worked the time displayed in the cell.

Green Arrow

Worked shifts that were scheduled and that the employee had punched in; the employee is ‘on-the-clock’, meaning that they have punched in for the

day. Once the employee punches out, the shift is marked with the (green light) icon.

Green Square

Paid to schedule shifts. The application has been configured to pay the employee, by default, for the scheduled time. This configuration is typically used with salaried or some full-time employees who do not punch in or out to record when they worked.

Yellow Light Worked shifts that were not scheduled. The employee was not scheduled but recorded worked time on the day. The times in the cell represent when the employee recorded working.

Yellow Arrow

Worked shifts that were not scheduled and that the employee had punched in; the employee is ‘on-the-clock’, meaning that they have punched in for the day. Once the employee punches out, the shift is

marked with the (yellow light) icon.

Red Light

Scheduled shifts that the employee did not work. The employee was absent without a recorded reason – such as taking a sick day or vacation – and the times in the cell represent the employee’s scheduled shift. You can create a pay adjustment on this date if you know why the employee was absent to help ensure your time and attendance records are accurate and that the employee gets paid correctly.

Green Check Scheduled shift that the employee did not work but have a pay adjustment recorded against them

Blue Light Scheduled future shifts that the employee has not worked yet

Reviewing Missing and Late Punches

When the employee fails to punch out at the end of their shift, or punches in late for work, the application marks the shift on the timesheet for your review. It is always a good idea to change the view to high detail to see all the information for every shift when reviewing any missing or late punches.

Missing punches are marked with the problems icon ( ) and are considered errors. Any problems on the timesheet must be fixed.

Early or late punches are marked with the exception icon ( ). Exceptions represent information that can be useful for you to know but do not necessarily have to be corrected.

There are two ways to search for and correct problems in My Timesheets:

• Using the Problems button • Using the Filter button

Import Summary Displays the number of records contained in the file, the number of records successfully imported and the number of records not imported.

Import Messages Contains error and/or warning messages incurred as part of the import. Each message includes the Record Number and Employee Number for which the error/warning occurred, and an Imported/Not Imported indicator. If no error or warning messages are incurred, this section does not display. • The Record Number is the row in which the data exists

in the file.

• The Employee Number is displayed, as it appears in exists in the flagged Record.

If one record has more than one error message or more than one warning message, all messages are grouped together for that record.

14. Error messages appear in RED and are identified as Not Imported. When an error message occurs, the record is rejected, its data not being imported into Powerpay. (This is consistent with how error messages function within the rest of the Powerpay system.)

In the event of errors occurring as part of the import process, it is necessary to make the corrections in Time Solutions, and then re-initiate the export to the Powerpay Company Number from the IWFMsystem. The export cannot be re-initiated from within the Powerpay system.

15. Warning messages appear in GREEN and are identified as Imported. When a warning message occurs, the record is imported. However, Powerpay has recognized something that potentially needs to be acted upon and is bringing it to your attention. (This is consistent with how warning messages function within the rest of the Powerpay system.)

Verify Your Data (Mandatory)

Data verification is making sure that you payroll has been keyed accurately. A series of warning messages are displayed for your review on the Data Verification screen. On the bottom of the screen you will find totals for the information you have keyed on the current payroll.

You should verify your data before you submit it to Ceridian for processing to make sure that your payroll is error free.

from being produced. Red error messages are serious errors that stop the pay from being produced.

If you discover an error on the Data Verification screen, return to the appropriate screen to enter the correction, and then check the Data Verification screen again to make sure the correction did not cause any errors. Keep checking the Data Verification screen until you are satisfied that your payroll is completely accurate.

For more information refer to the screen help for the Data Verification screen.

I don’t know Powerpay very well, but it seems that these colours contradict the earlier colours I highlighted above??

Preview Your Payroll (Mandatory)

A preview is a simulated payroll run that allows you to see what your payroll would look like if you submitted it with the data entered. It includes a preview of any requested ROEs. It is NOT a “real” payroll and does NOT produce payments or reports.

This is the final step of the verification process to make sure your payroll and any requested ROEs have no errors before submitting it to Ceridian. If you find errors on the preview, you still have time to go back to the applicable screens and correct them. Previews can be run as many times as necessary before submitting your payroll for processing.

1. Click on the Process tab, and click on the Preview link.

The Preview Request screen displays.

2. Click the Request button. The following message displays on your screen:

If you do not want to wait for your request to be completed, you can log off from Powerpay and return to the Preview screen at a later time.

When the request process is complete, the Company Totals, Employee Totals and ROE Forms links are available. A message also appears on your screen indicating that the request process is complete.

Company Totals Employee Totals ROE Forms

Company Totals give you amounts that apply to the entire payroll such as the total hours / earnings, total employee deductions, total employer contributions, and overall totals.

Employee Totals displays the total gross pay, deductions, and net pay for each employee. You will also have a listing of various payroll warnings such as large payments and employees without any pay. By clicking on an employee name, details of the employee’s pay will be shown.

ROE Forms displays a complete preview of all ROEs for your entire payroll. Use the preview for validation and review purposes only, as this is not a final ROE. The ROE is not final until a serial number is attached during processing. All ROEs contain 'DRAFT' as the serial number and a 'Draft' watermark background. The first page (PAGE 1) of each ROE is displayed. At the end of the ROE Report, following all of the forms, a single PAGE 2 (back of the ROE) displays. The ROE displays in the language preference of the employee for whom the ROE was created.

If you find errors in your payroll preview, click the Payroll tab and make the corrections. Then, run the preview again to verify that your payroll is correct. Run Preview as many times as necessary until you are satisfied with your payroll.

Submit Your Payroll For Processing (Mandatory)

When you submit your payroll for processing, you are actually giving Ceridian your final approval to go ahead and pay your employees using the data you entered in Powerpay. This process will also trigger the official generation of any requested ROEs. A copy of the completed ROE will be sent to service Canada on your behalf.

This is your signal to Ceridian that you have checked your payroll data, and it is ready to be used to create accurate payments, reports and ROEs (if requested). If you do not submit your payroll for processing every pay period, none of your employees will be paid. If you submit early, employees will still be paid on the payment date indicated in your contract.

1. Click on the Process tab, and then click on the Submit link.

The Submit screen displays.

2. Click on the Submit Payroll For Processing button. Once your payroll has been submitted

for processing, a message displays confirming that your payroll has been sent for processing. You will not be able to enter further payroll data for this pay period. (If there is an error in transmission, an error message opens with instruction to correct it.)
