Substitutions Based on a Work Schedule Rule

Use

You can use this form of substitution to record a longer-term deviation from an employee’s work schedule. You specify the working time based on a fixed work schedule of more than one day.

Using this form of substitution as opposed to a substitution on the basis of a daily work schedule is recommended in cases such as the following:

  • An employee is to work for a particular period according to the work schedule rule of another personnel subarea grouping, employee grouping, or public holiday calendar.

  • An employee is to take on a substitution for a longer period and the daily work schedules and/or daily work schedule variants assigned to the work schedule rule are different. This is the case where shorter working times apply on Fridays or the employee works a shift pattern, for example.

    Note Note

    For very long-term substitutions, it is more practical to assign the employee a new work schedule rule in the Planned Working Time infotype (0007) .

    End of the note.

Features

To represent this form of substitution, you enter the work schedule rule according to which the employee is to work for the duration of the substitution.

Example

One of your production plant employees in personnel subarea 0001 is to substitute for a colleague in personnel subarea 0002 in your branch office for a certain period. You assign the work schedule rule valid for the branch office to the employee for the duration of the substitution.

Your employee works under the provisions that apply in the branch office in personnel subarea 0002 for the duration of the substitution. These working provisions may include a public holiday calendar, start and end times, breaks, and so on that differ from the employee’s original work schedule.
