Template library

Manage all templates from Workforce → Schedules → Shift templates.

Duplicate and modify existing templates. Changes to a template do not retroactively alter published schedules.

Overtime and shift differentials

Assign pay rate multipliers to shift templates from the template edit page → Pay rate override.

Overtime rules apply across shift boundaries based on Payroll → Pay rates → Overtime rules.
